Awarding Bodies
NPORS
National operators resignation scheme (NPORS) was established in 1992. This card is a superb alternative to CPCS. It's flexible because it can be done on-site or at our centre and can be bespoke to your workplace or operational requirements. You can choose between the traditional NPORS without the CSCS logo or the CSCS/NPORS Card.
The CSCS/NPORS includes the CSCS logo embedded onto the red trained card), which is accepted by all sites in the UK. To pass a test, you must complete a profile form to show you have the experience to go straight in for an experienced worker test (EWT), then a theory test consisting of twenty-five questions, five written and twenty multiple choices and a practical test. You should have already completed a CSCS touchscreen test before we apply for your card.
If you have no experience, then training is required.
To gain the blue competency, you must complete a Level 2 NVQ in plant operations.
CPCS
Launched in 2003, The Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) provides skills cards for the plant sector of the Construction and allied industries. It is also accepted on all sites. Before attending a test, you will need to complete a CSCS touchscreen test, and we can book you in. Please speak to one of the team.
This card is gained by completing a set of questions verbally, which are recorded. There is 65 - 100+ questions depending on the test, and then a practical test. The test must be competed at our centre, but some categories can be completed off-centre. On completion of the test, you will gain a red trained operator card. To gain a blue card, you must complete an NVQ, speak to a member of our team for more details
NVQ
ProQual is the chosen awarding organisation for our centre. You can apply for your NVQ once you have the required experience. The NVQ is a vocational qualification which can be done during working hours with minimal impact on-site.
The NVQ enables you to gain a blue competency card from NPORS or CPCS. The NVQ works with both card schemes as long as the relevant test has been passed. We register you and assign an assessor. That assessor will come out and collect evidence of you completing practical and underpinning knowledge. Video and dictaphone is the chosen method for collecting evidence. On completion, the internal verifier who checks the assessor's portfolio has met all elements. Once that is done and is ok, we can apply for your certificate and card. You must ensure your CSCS touchscreen is within two years of passing before applying for the blue card. A log book will be sent out with your blue card and must be filled in to show CPD over the next five years of the card's life. If your red card is close to expiry, we can apply for an extension which gives you a further year but is a one-time deal. If you get to the end or your card runs out, you could lose your card and need to be retested.
To sign up for an NVQ, fill in our form.
