CPCS/NOCN
The Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) was created from a need of construction and allied employers requiring recognition of competence for their plant and machinery operators.
The original CTA Scheme itself was adopted by industry as the standard bearer. Its purpose was to provide a safe operating skills and site safety knowledge through training and was a leading player in adopting the Health and Safety Test.
The Industry needed to improve safety, led by initiatives such as Rethinking Construction and Revitalising Health and Safety agendas, meant that a common competence scheme was required. This was bolstered with the formation of organisation such as the Confederation of Construction Clients and the Major Contractors Group who set minimum safety standards and fostered the implementation of a single card scheme for the industry under the umbrella of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS).
Industry members of the CTA Scheme Management Committee spent three years devising a competence-based scheme, with widespread consultation with federation, organisation, employers, operators and stakeholders. All supported the need for a simple, robust yet pragmatic system.
Red 'Trained Operator' Card
The CPCS Red Trained Operator Card is issued on successful completion of the CPCS Theory and Practical Technical Tests which must be taken with a CPCS accredited test centre.
Learn which theory and practical test you need to complete in order to gain a Red Trained Operator Card.
To get this card you need to (in this order):
- Pass the relevant CITB health, safety and environment test.
- Achieve the CPCS theory test (within two years of the CITB health, safety and environment test)
- Achieve the CPCS practical test (within six months of the CPCS theory test and within two years of the CITB health, safety and environment test).
Both CPCS theory and practical tests are delivered by an approved CPCS test centre. The test centre will apply for the card.
Blue 'Competent Operator' Card
The Blue Competent Operator Card has a five-year life and is renewable.
The Blue Competent Operator Card confirms you have demonstrated a level of health, safety and environment awareness through the CITB health, safety and environment test, underpinning knowledge through a CPCS theory test, operating ability through a CPCS practical test and operating competence on the type of plant evidenced by a VQ.
Blue Competent Operator cardholders have demonstrated their ability to work unsupervised, and may, in fact be called upon to supervise Red Trained Operator cardholders on the worksite.
Green Labourers Card
The Labourer card is specifically for people carrying out labouring duties.
This card is valid for five years. It is currently not possible to renew a Labourer card. However, you can apply for a new Labourer card when your existing card expires.
Card Requirements
- Take and pass the CSCS Health, Safety & Environment Test (50 multiple choice questions) £40 per person
- NPORS Construction Safety Awareness Course (1 Day) £155 + VAT

LANTRA
National Proficiency Tests Council
NPTC
NPTC offer an assessment only. Usually a Lantra Awards “training only” course is required in order to cover items for assessment, as there is no such thing as an “NPTC training course”.
Technically, there is no legal requirement for training before sitting an NPTC
assessment, however, without appropriate training, a candidate is very unlikely to pass the assessment – unless they are exceptionally experienced, fully aware of all relevant current health and safety aspects and fully conversant both theoretically and practically with current chainsaws and techniques.
Integrated Training & Assessment
ITA
The instructor trains and assesses the candidate on the training course itself.
In both cases the trainee is assessed, so they have a Certificate of Competence.
For example; Chainsaw training is progressive, you can’t take Stage 3 for example without
passing Stage 1 first and then Stage 2, and the further the progression, the more apparent the difference becomes between Lantra Awards and NPTC.
