Awarding Bodies
NPORS
NPORS was established in 1992. This card is a superb alternative to CPCS. It's flexible because it can be done on or off site and is bespoke to your workplace or operational requirements. You can choose between the traditional NPORS card or CSCS/NPORS Card.
​
The CSCS/NPORS can include the CSCS logo embedded onto the card (red card) which is widely accepted by all significant sites in the UK. To gain the blue competency card 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.
This card is gained by completing a set of questions which are recorded, and then a practical test. The test can only be completed at a CPCS accredited centre. Training is not regulated by CPCS. We can provide CPCS training and can also book you in for your test.
NVQ
ProQual is the chosen awarding organisation for our NVQs. You can apply for your NVQ once you have the required experience. An NVQ proves your competency to enable you to gain a blue competency card from either NPORS or CPCS.
​
An NVQ is a vocational qualification which can be done during work with minimal impact on site operations. Our assessors must be occupationally competent to assess the delegate. The NVQ has guided learning hours dependent on the qualification.
