Trusted and Proven CPCS Training for Portsmouth Candidates

Provided to clients from across Portsmouth and Hampshire, our CPCS training scheme aims to provide proof of the skills and abilities of plant operators. It is based on a mix of health and safety awareness, experience on site and professional competence - all three qualities that are essential for operating plant machinery safely and effectively. Being more productive and effective in the workplace means that all construction jobs are completed quicker and to a better standard. Many Portsmouth companies have taken the opportunity to give their staff construction training and then benefitted from it.

As an accredited UK CPCS testing centre, we are able to offer a multitude of construction plant courses, a great on-centre experience and fully qualified trainers and testers. We provide the highest quality service in getting you the training you need, which can include a wide range from 1 day to 10 day CPCS training courses. Our comprehensively experienced and knowledgeable trainers provide expert advice and guidance to make sure that all participants of our CPCS training courses leave with everything they need to be safe and efficient in the workplace.

The CPCS testing consists of a practical examination, preceded by a professional one-to-one theoretical exam. The theory exam will be recorded by one of our testers and the CPCS practical test could also be video recorded, if required. These tests can be randomly monitored to ensure quality standards remain to those expected. Both parts will assess competency in operating all types of plant machinery.

Most of the CPCS testing will need to be completed at one of our registered CPCS test centres, unless it is an off-centre category (see training guidance for on/off centre categories), but we are also able to come to sit for certain categories that are off-centre. Our purpose-built centres in Basingstoke, Hampshire, and Reading, Berkshire, cover over five acres, where we are able to process up to 24 tests per day, depending on the course category. This means sending work gangs to us in one go is not a problem and if operatives need to do multiple categories in one day, that is also possible.

So if you are based anywhere across Portsmouth or Hampshire, call us today on 01189 700200 to discuss which CPCS card training requirements you have. We provide a wide range of courses which ensure that construction workers are able to have the experience they need to work efficiently in the workplace. From CPCS vehicle banksman training to a wide range of other courses; we will provide the courses you need.

***If your company pays LEVY then we can process levy claims on your behalf, as well as all certification and card applications.
