Increasingly, clients and employers are demanding proof of competence from all operators on their sites. The CPCS card proves to employers that you have both the skills and practical experience to do the job effectively. In fact, many sites won’t let you operate plant unless you carry the card

The card scheme really helps employers, too. It means they can be sure that workers on their site have the qualifications and experience to do a quality job. It also means their sites will be safer because everyone has an understanding of health and safety issues.

• It shows you have the practical experience to operate plant and along with your log book acts as a CV for potential employers
• It helps you get work on MCG and NCF construction sites
