We’re pleased to announce that yfor now integrates directly with the CSCS Smart Check API, giving employers real-time verification of card status across all 38 affiliated card schemes.

Why this matters

Card validation has always been a manual, time-consuming process. Site managers check cards visually, administrators chase expiry dates across spreadsheets, and nobody has a single view of card compliance across the workforce.

With the Smart Check integration, yfor now pulls live card data automatically. Every worker’s card status is visible inside their skills profile — valid, expiring, or lapsed — alongside their competence evidence, training records and badge progress.

How it works

  • Automatic verification — card status checked against CSCS in real time
  • All 38 schemes — not just CSCS, but every affiliated card scheme recognised on UK construction sites
  • Expiry alerts — automated notifications before cards lapse, giving employers time to act
  • Per-project filtering — see card compliance by site, project or business unit

Part of a bigger picture

Card validation on its own is useful. But inside yfor, it becomes part of a complete workforce competence picture. A valid CSCS card is one data point — yfor connects it to qualifications, on-site evidence, training compliance and career progression.

If you’re managing workforce compliance across multiple sites, book a walkthrough and we’ll show you how it fits together.
