Qualifications You Receive

Staffordshire Operator Training Offer a Wide Range of Plant and Machinery Training, There are three routes that we offer:

1) An In-house certification which satisfies the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) requirements, suitable for situations where the individual is conducting their own work, for example: Farmers, Builders, landscape gardeners.

2) A Lantra land based card which is also recognised but not on all major construction sites.

3) CPCS (Construction Plant Competence Scheme) card, this card is required to work as a plant operator on most major contract group construction sites. An experienced worker assessment can take place when the candidate is over 21, can prove 3 years general plant operation and 2 years on the category required, this would allow the candidate to take a reduced course. If the candidate cannot prove previous experience or are aged under 21 then they have to apply for a Novice worker assessment. After completing the CPCS course on either experienced or novice worker assessments the candidate will receive their Red CPCS card, candidates then have 3 years to log 300 hours in the provided CPCS log book working towards their NVQ and Blue CPCS card.

For example someone with no previous experience of a 360 Excavator would need a 2 week course, part of this would be theory in classrooms and the rest practical. Where someone with previous experience may only need 3 days. Please telephone for course durations.
