About this course

Level 2 Plant Operations (Construction) Course. Work-based training at your workplace. You train on the job, building the competence needed to progress from a CPCS or NPORS/CSCS Red Trained Operators Card to the Blue Competence Card. The course covers 160 hours of work-based learning across the relevant plant machine or machines you operate. A level 2 plant operations (construction) qualification like this one is a recognised step for operators working toward full competence status on site.

Who this course is for

This is a stand alone qualification and also a requirement for learners progressing from the CPCS or NPORS/CSCS Red Trained Operators Card to the Blue Competence.

Entry requirements

Learners must be physical able and demonstrate a safe and responsible approach to operating the relevant machine(s).

What you will learn

  • You'll demonstrate safe and responsible operation of the relevant construction plant machine(s).
  • You'll apply health and safety practices specific to plant operations on construction sites.
  • You'll show competence in pre-use checks and routine maintenance of plant equipment.
  • You'll follow site procedures and work within the relevant regulations for plant operation.
  • You'll meet the competence standards required for progression to a Blue Competence Card.

How you will learn

This is a work-based qualification. You are assessed in your actual job role, operating plant machinery in a real construction environment. Assessment is by observation of your practice on site, along with a portfolio of evidence demonstrating your competence. You must be physically able to operate the relevant machine and show a safe, responsible approach throughout.

What you could study next

Completing this level 2 plant operations (construction) qualification and holding a Blue Competence Card opens routes to further plant categories and specialist machine endorsements.
