CPCS Training Courses for Reading Candidates

Our CPCS training program, available to prospective candidates in Reading, showcases the skills and abilities of plant operators.

Through a blend of expertise, safety awareness, and practical experience, we equip all candidates with these crucial qualities for operating plant machinery efficiently and safely.

This leads to enhanced productivity and effectiveness in the workplace, resulting in timely completion of construction projects at a high level of quality. Numerous companies have embraced this opportunity to provide their employees with the necessary training through our construction program, leading to various benefits for their operations.

As an accredited UK CPCS testing centre, we are proud to provide a wide selection of construction plant courses, as well as qualified testers and trainers with extensive on-site experience. Our goal is to deliver exceptional training services, offering flexible courses that range from 1 to 10 days to cater to both employers and employees alike. Count on our experienced and certified trainers to offer expert guidance and equip candidates with the necessary skills for a safe and efficient working environment.

The CPCS assessment process consists of a professional individual written test and a practical exam. The written portion will be documented by our testers, while the option to have the CPCS practical test recorded is available upon request. In order to uphold our high standards, these evaluations may also undergo occasional supervision. Together, these components assess the candidate's proficiency in handling different types of plant equipment.

Most of the CPCS testing must be done at our registered test centres, except for off-centre categories (see training guidance for on/off centre categories). We can also conduct tests on site for specific off-centre categories. Our dedicated centres in Reading, Berkshire and Hampshire span over 5 acres and can accommodate up to 24 tests per day, depending on the course category. This allows for easy coordination of work gangs, and operatives can even complete multiple categories in one day if needed.

If you're located in Reading, contact us at 01189 700 200 to talk about your specific CPCS card training needs. Our courses offer comprehensive preparation for construction professionals to perform effectively on the job site. We offer a variety of options, including CPCS vehicle banksman training and other courses, to fulfil your training requirements.

***If your company pays the LEVY, we can handle all claims, certification, and card applications on your behalf.
