Red Trained Operator Card
1. Health and Safety Test
2. CPCS Theory Test
3. CPCS Practical Test

After successfully completing your theory and practical test CPCS will issue you with a red Trained Operator Card this card lasts for 2 years.

You cannot renew your red card. Only upgrade it to a blue card with an NVQ in Plant Operations.

You no longer receive a logbook with a red card and you can upgrade to a blue card with just an NVQ and no need to record 300 hours.

Blue Competence Card and the NVQ

It is best to register for an NVQ as soon as possible after achieving your red card. Then, you can begin collecting evidence for the NVQ straight away and there is no last minute rush 

Most NVQs for Red Cardholders are completed in 3 Steps.

1. Induction and Skillmatch
2. Assessors visits candidate on site
3. (additional training if required)
4. Assessor visits candidate on site

Assessor visits are to observe you doing their job and are designed to cause as little disruption to your work as possible.

Renewing your Blue Competence Card

You will receive your first log book with your first blue Competence Card. After 5 years your blue card will expire and you will need to evidence 300 hours in your log book to renew your card or take an On Site Assessment to prove you are competent.
