CPCS -
Plant Operations
Comply with the current codes of practice for plant operations with the industry’s preferred carding scheme – our testers cover over 50 different CPCS categories.
CPCS Construction Plant Competence Scheme
The CPCS scheme is recognised by the Build UK Contractors (formally UKCG) and Major Home Builders Group (MHBG), among others, as the preferred carding scheme to comply with codes of practice for competence and certification.
Who’s it for?
This scheme provides a registration card scheme acknowledged by industry for those involved in plant operations by recognising skills, knowledge and understanding, competence and qualifications. It is based on a mix of occupational competence, experience on site and health and safety awareness - three essential qualities for operating plant machinery safely and effectively.
The process
A CPCS test consists of a one-to-one theoretical assessment, followed by a practical examination. The theory element is tape recorded by one of our testers and the CPCS practical test could also be video recorded, if required.
The cards available within the CPCS Scheme are:
CPCS Red ‘Trained Operator’ Card
CPCS Blue ‘Competent Operator’ Card
