Applicants to our training courses must have passed a CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test within in the past two years, and must have a good understanding of both spoken and written English.

Our Morriston CPCS loading shovel course lasts between one to three days depending on the participants. This allows for some flexibility regarding practical test times and the date of successful completion.
Training can span up to three days in total, but a refresher training course may only require one. This depends on the circumstances behind the training course itself.
Upon successful completion, you will earn a Red trained CPCS card. This is part of the CPCS card scheme, and acts as proof that you passed the test and are therefore a trained operator.
This card means that you understand impotent details, such as unloading procedures, for machine operation.
It also covers things like machine transportation, underground and overhead services, load integrity, operating in confined spaces, road travel (including substantial inclines), and various running checks.
Completing this course proves that you understand all of these elements, and are table to operate a vehicle or machine in Morriston to a professional level.
With this card, you can show that you are licensed and fully trained to operate a given piece of equipment, which is often a requirement in most industries.
Becoming a licensed loading shovel operator requires that you take this CPCS course. The card provided upon completion serves as proof of competency.
A loading shovel license is required to operate a loading shovel in any serious capacity.
While a license may not be needed to drive the equipment around the site (in some cases, including road travel), operation is only permitted by licensed individuals.
You can apply for the CITB grant on your own terms, depending on the course. Funding may not always be available, so talk with the funding providers to ensure that it will be an option before you start your training.
Other grants may also be available.
