The aim is for future/existing operators of plant

towards is called Plant Operations Level 2. For more

How do I go about attending a CPCS course? |
|
First of all, you must attend and pass the health
and safety touch screen test. This will give you a
recognised health and safety qualification for working on construction sites -
without this you cannot attend a plant course or work on construction sites. If you have already passed
the health and safety test - it must have been within the last two years.

Where are the course's held? |
|
The course's are held at our purpose built training
centre outside Liverpool or we can deliver these course's on your premise's
(Terms & Conditions Apply). |
