Plant Training
Plant Training — CPCS & NPORS
Get certified to operate construction plant and machinery. We coordinate CPCS and NPORS training and testing across the full range of plant categories, for both novice and experienced operators.
What's the Difference Between CPCS and NPORS?
CPCS (Construction Plant Competence Scheme) and NPORS (National Plant Operators Registration Scheme) are both recognised routes to a plant operator card, accepted on the vast majority of UK construction sites. Which one suits you depends on your specific role, your employer's requirements, and the machine category — we'll help you choose the right route when you enquire.
NPORS Categories
21 categories across excavators, cranes, handlers and more.
