What type of cards do you need, which trade?

There are apps you can get to learn & practice the tests. I'd use one of those to do a training needs assessment first. There are many people who will tell you they can provide this training, but most are snake oil salesmen.

Groundworks, just labourer cards

For ours we did the tests from home for anyone with an NVQ, you can set up as an employer and run the tests from your own location.

The others did CITB again from home but was a bit more strict, think it was £99 including test.

It’s pretty easy to arrange the green labourer cards yourself.

They need to attend the CITB 1 Day H&S Awareness (other level 1 courses are available) and then the CITB HS&E for Operatives.

You can then apply for the card directly through CSCS.
