CPCS provides a registration card scheme acknowledged by industry for those involved in plant operations by recognising skills, knowledge and understanding, competence and qualifications.

CPCS aims to:

• Provide identification for plant operators and those involved with plant operations by recognising skills, knowledge and understanding, competence and qualifications
• Raise health, safety and environment standards through a programme of Health, safety and environment testing to prove workers have met minimum standards
• Provide standards of learning and assessment to equip individuals with relevant skills and knowledge to seek employment within industry
• Provide or improve employment prospects for individuals and experienced operators
• Keep a record of workers in the construction and allied industries who have achieved a recognised level of operating ability and competence, and to provide a means of identification
• Be self-financing; with any surplus funds being used for the benefit of the construction industry
• Encourage construction and allied employers to use certificated and competent plant operators
• Provide certification for UK workers that could be accepted in Europe through agreements with other European national schemes to mutually recognise qualifications
