NVQ Level 2 in Plant Operations — Crane Supervisor
NVQ Level 2 in Plant Operations — Crane Supervisor is the qualifying route to upgrade your Red "Trained Operator" card to a Blue "Competent Operator" card for crane Supervisor. It's assessed from evidence of the on-site experience you've built up operating this category since gaining your Red card — no exams, no classroom study. This leads to a Blue CPCS or Blue NPORS card, not a CSCS card — CPCS/NPORS is a completely separate card scheme from CSCS, despite both being common on UK sites.
What It Covers
- Safe, competent operation of crane Supervisor, evidenced from your existing on-site work
- Adherence to safe working procedures and site safety requirements for this category
- The practical competence expected at the Blue/Competent Operator tier
Entry Requirements
Red CPCS A62 or Red NPORS (Crane/Lift Supervisor) card, whichever you hold, plus a minimum of 6 months' verifiable experience operating this machine on UK sites.
How It Works
Assessed through a portfolio of evidence — site records, photos of your work operating this category, and professional discussion with your assessor — reflecting the experience you've built up since gaining your Red card.
Leads To
A Blue CPCS Competent Operator card or Blue NPORS Operator Card, depending on which scheme your Red card was issued under for crane Supervisor — not a CSCS card. CPCS/NPORS is a separate card scheme from CSCS.
