This course will give delegates a CPCS Red Trained Operator card (on successful completion of CPCS Technical Tests).

Trained Operator Card (RED)

The Trained Operator Card confirms a level of core skills, knowledge and understanding that can be applied in the workplace until measured as competent against national standards.

Progression to Blue ‘Competent operator’ CPCS card
 
Once you’ve obtained your Red CPCS Trained Operator Card, it will last for 2 years. During these 2 years, you must work towards and achieve your NVQ in Plant Operations to upgrade to a Blue CPCS Competence Card that is valid for 5 years.

The Blue Competent Operator CPCS card is achieved through completing a Plant operations NVQ at level 2; EM Training does offer the NVQ required.

You do not need to take any further exams or come to a training center; we will come to your site or remotely assess you for your NVQ.

The plant operations NVQ required for this category is made up of only 3 units; these can be completed through observations, video recordings, written tasks etc.

Please call EM Training on 020 3150 1299 for further information about our Plant operations NVQ provision.
