The CPCS Card for Plant Operators
The Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) is the single card scheme for the plant industry, covering all categories of plant from excavators to tower cranes.
The new scheme is competence based, so as well as proving that you are qualified to operate plant machines, it shows that you have practical experience. By carrying a CPCS card you can show employers that you're up to the job. Without one, you'll find it hard to get work on construction sites.
Increasingly, clients and employers are demanding proof of competence from all operators on their sites. The CPCS card proves to employers that you have both the skills and practical experience to do the job effectively. A more competent workforce will make the industry more efficient and will create a safer working environment. Getting a CPCS card is simple, and once you have yours, getting access to work on construction sites will be easier.
