CPCS training
We deliver Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) training all over the UK, on-site at a client's premises or at our specialist construction academy, located in Swanley, Kent.
As an accredited CPCS test centre we offer a wide variety of construction plant training courses, with classroom capabilities for over 40 learners at one time, 20,000m2 of training space and an experienced team of fully qualified trainers and assessors.
The CPCS training scheme is one of the largest and most well-known card schemes for the construction and plant industry. It aims to provide evidence for plant operators and those involved with plant operations by recognising skills, knowledge and understanding, competence and qualifications. It is based on a mix of professional competence, experience on site and health and safety awareness. Improving skills and knowledge in the workplace means construction projects are more efficient and completed safely and to a higher standard.
