The industry-recognised card scheme for plant operators, confirming the skills and experience to safely operate construction plant machinery.
The Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) verifies that plant operators have the skills, knowledge and experience to safely operate specific categories of construction plant. There are three main card types, each reflecting a different stage of training and experience.
Issued on successful completion of the CPCS Theory and Practical Technical Tests, which must be taken at a CPCS-accredited test centre.
Confirms you have demonstrated health, safety and environment awareness through the CITB test, underpinning knowledge through a CPCS theory test, operating ability through a CPCS practical test, and operating competence evidenced by a vocational qualification (VQ). Valid for five years and renewable — holders can work unsupervised and may supervise Red Trained Operators.
For experienced operators who are trained and assessed to independently and impartially deliver learning or judge a learner's skills and knowledge, evidenced through a Record of Category Experience (RoE).
To renew your CPCS Blue Competent Operator card, you must take and pass the CPCS Renewal Test. This confirms your knowledge of each plant category, or group of categories, held on your card is up to date.
Each test takes around 15 minutes, and you'll need to take a renewal test for every group of categories on your card. Booking your CPCS renewal through us is easy — just call our team and we'll take care of the rest.
