CTA starts changeover with letter

Letters have gone out to all Certificate of Training Achievement (CTA) cardholders in preparation for the change-over to the Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS).
Each of the 157,000 active CTA cardholders should receive one of two letters depending on whether the Construction Industry Training Board (which administers the scheme for the Construction Skills Certification Scheme) has a scanned photograph of the holder.
There have been 20,000 replies so far. Respondents will be issued with blue CPCS cards.
Holders of orange CPCS cards (which expire at the end of the year) issued by Lantra and the National Plant Operators' Registration Scheme will get blue card replacements.
