    Hi guys I'm new on here and to construction plant I have been a ground worker for over 5 years and got made redundant a while back . I got funding to do a 10 day course for the 180 excavator (which I believe isn't enough time to learn a new trade) It sounds like I got good seat time in the machine...

  • I want you to attend your CPCS test but forget about getting paid !

    In times of financial restraint you would expect many construction employers to make cutbacks in expenditure. Hourly rates, digs allocation and assistance with motor mileage all have all been reduced for many plant operators that need to move around the UK to retain employment. Now I hear that a prominent...

  • Re: NPORS "just as good" as CPCS cards?

    There are increasing signs that NPORS are becoming as widespread as CPCS cards, even on majors sites, as discussed on the CPCS cards thread.

  • Re: CPCS cards

    Personally any scheme that has had so many changes to try to get it right has become a waste of time. Now after so many changes and what apears to be the dismantling of the MCG, the CPCS has become such a costly academic scheme that in these days of extreme economical climate they are struggling to survive...

  • Re: CPCS cards

    With the Major Contractors Group dispanding, I don't know if CPCS cards will still be mandatory. I would think probably they will be - though maybe there will be fewer checks? But they've made a real mess of the whole training scheme now that there is much more theory in the exams, it's a...
