CPCS A31 Ride-On Roller Course

If you’re interested in a career in construction and mobile plant operation, the CPCS A31 Ride-On Roller Course is a key step in your journey to success. In this blog, we’ll delve into the details of this training program, its significance, and the benefits it can bring to your career. 

Understanding CPCS A31 Ride-On Roller Course 

The Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) offers industry-recognised certification for various construction machinery. The A31 Ride-On Roller Course focuses on providing you with the skills and knowledge required to operate ride-on roller plant competently. 

On our A31 Ride-On Roller Course, you shall have a mix of classroom-based training for the Theory part of your training; practical training on how to operate a Ride-on-roller shall cover you for your practical CPCS test.  

Upon completion of your training, you shall take both a theory (verbally relayed) & a practical test (driving a dumper on a prescribed course).  

Upon passing your CPCS Ride-on-roller tests, a CPCS Trained Operator card (Red), valid for 2 years, shall be automatically generated.  

You shall need to complete a work-based Level 2 NVQ (Plant Operations) to change your Red  
CPCS Trained Operator card into a five-year (Blue) competent operator card.  

It is common practice for most people to book both the CPCS Dumper & Ride-on-Roller courses; most employers are looking to employ operatives that possess the two tickets.
