CPCS stands for the Construction Plant Competence Scheme which is a card scheme to prove the skills of plant operators. It is based on a combination of professional competence and health and safety awareness – two essential qualities for operating plant.

The Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) provides skills cards for the plant sector of the construction industry. CPCS covers a large range of plant and plant-related categories, and more are continually added.

We also work in partnership with a number of centres in England, so we can often arrange discounted prices on courses for the majority of major categories.
