Certification

This course will give delegates a CPCS Red Trained Operator card (on successful completion of CPCS technical tests). 


Trained Operator Card (RED) 

The Trained Operator Card confirms a level of core skills, knowledge, and understanding that can be applied in the workplace until measured as competent against national standards. Experienced and capable operators may hold a Trained Operator Card while working towards an SVQ or NVQ. 

If you hold or have held a previous CPCS card and wish to progress, please let us know before booking. 

Once youΓÇÖve obtained your Red CPCS Trained Operator Card, it is valid for 2 years. During this time, you are expected to complete an NVQ in Plant Operations to progress to a Blue CPCS Competence Card. 

If you have not completed your NVQ within the 2-year period, the accreditation body, NOCN-CPCS, may allow a grace period provided you are registered and booked onto an NVQ course. For further guidance on eligibility and next steps, please contact our team. 


Competent Operator Card (BLUE) 

The Competent Operator Card confirms that the holder has demonstrated health and safety awareness (via the CITB Health, Safety, and Environment test), underpinning knowledge (via a CPCS theory test), operating ability (via a CPCS practical test), and operating competence on the type of plant (evidenced by an SVQ, NVQ, or employer confirmation of competence).

Who Should Attend

Delegates with some experience of using an excavator and/or those who would benefit from a formal training programme to further develop their skills. Also, delegates who are experienced operators but have little or no experience in CPCS requirements and would therefore benefit from some training in how to meet CPCS theory and practical requirements.

Prerequisites

You must have a basic understanding and knowledge of current Health & Safety issues. The relevant CITB Health Safety & Environment touchscreen test must be current and in date (completed within the last 24 months).

Failure to arrive on the course with the relevant test completed and in date, will result in your not being permitted to undertake the exams at the end of the course. No refund will be given for exams cancelled as a result of you not having the relevant test completed.

More information can be found on the CITB website.

Your booking can only be confirmed once we receive the following information:

  1. Existing CSCS Card Number
  2. NI Number
  3. D.O.B.

One of our booking agents will be in contact with you 24-48 hours after you make your booking to collect this information prior to confirming your space on the course.
