Choose who you want to be accredited by. Each scheme differs slightly but most importantly they all have their prestige and credibility.
CPCS
Construction Plant Competence
Scheme- CPCS is often regarded as
the most popular accreditation in the
UK. Main goal of the CPCS training is

test.
NPORS
National Plant Operators Registration
Scheme is an original registration
scheme for operators, founded in 1992.
It is widely recognised and extremely
respected. NPORS offers a wide
variety of training types. Including one
where employees can be trained and
examined on the company's site,
making it incredibly efficient for
employers that require a group training
without having to send their
employees off to a training facility.
NPORS cards can now be issued with
CSCS logo making it much more
attractive for any employers as it will
cover the health and safety aspect of an
operator's training. This makes the card
even more attractive. NPORS training can
be tailored to operators and the
company's needs.
We can make an arrangement for our
trainer to travel to a building site and carry
out training and assessment on site.
