Controlling lifts safely

NVQ Description

NVQs in Plant and Lifting Operations are competency-based qualifications used to demonstrate your experience and skill in a specific type of plant machinery or lifting on a live site.

Our Level 5 NVQ Diploma in Controlling Lifting Operations as an Appointed Person (AP) is designed to assess your competence across varying aspects of preparing and planning a variety of lifting plans required for general lifting operations in Construction.

Appointed persons work closely alongside other lifting team members on a construction site to ensure that all lifting operations are carried out safely.

The CPCS Red Trained Operator card is valid for 2 years, during which time you are required to undertake the relevant plant NVQ to upgrade to the Blue Competent Operator Card.
