cpcs test centre

CPCS is the most widely accepted card on UK Construction sites. We offer CPCS Testing on most of the major categories of plant.

If you require training, we have a range of options for you from full novice training to test preparation mornings. Call us to discuss your requirements.

npors accredited

NPORS is a widely accepted and extremely versatile accreditation. Being a founder member of NPORS back in 1992, we are not the longest established NPORS centre in existence – it’s something we are very proud of.

Training and testing can be tailored to your exact requirements. For example: If you only use an Excavator in a yard to load from a stockpile, your card can be limited to just that – saving you time and money on training for excavating into the ground.

Fork Lift Truck Training

Back in 1989, Colin Winward gained his FLT Instructor Licence, and we were born! 30+ years later, we still pride ourselves on our commitment to excellence in the field (Colin is still here if you were wondering!).

We offer FLT training in the comfort of your own premises, from novice operators to supervision and awareness for management on all types of Fork Lift Truck. Most courses are based around 3 delegates of similar ability attending, but if you have anything a bit unusual, just give us a call and one of the team will be happy to discuss your requirements.

NVQ PLANT OPERATIONS

We are accredited to deliver NVQs by NOCN –
The most popular NVQ we offer, is “Plant Operations” which is required in order to upgrade a CPCS or NPORS CSCS Red Card to a Blue Card. This involves a number of visits to your workplace to observe you in a working role on the specific piece(s) of plant.

Tip: Aim to register and start your NVQ at least 6 months before your CPCS Red Card or NPORS Red Card is due to expire. Your NVQ will consist of 2 mandatory units, followed by a module corresponding to the category of plant that you require.
