What are CPCS Cards?
CPCS stands for the Construction Plant Competence Scheme - a card scheme to prove the skills of plant operators. It is based on a combination of professional competence and health and safety awareness - two essential qualities for operating plant.
More than 150,000 individuals carry the card and it is required to be able to operate most categories of plant on MCG (Major Contractors Group) and NCF (National Contractors Federation) sites. Put simply, it is the main standard for plant operators.
Recently the CPCS scheme has changed which has an impact on you as a candidate and us as your training provider. Please see link below for more details.
