The Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS)

The Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) provides skills cards for the plant sector of the construction and allied industries. It is a scheme developed by industry for the industry.

Theory Test covers health and safety, maintenance and operation knowledge about the machine. You will have to pass the theory test before you can move on to the practical test.

Practical Test involves maintenance checks and normal site operations for the chosen machine. When you have completed both the theory and practical tests you will get the CPCS (Red) Trained Operator Card.
