Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the CPCS 180 Excavator Course?
To be confirmed on completion of the initial analysis, depending on experience.
Is it easy to operate a 180 Excavator?
It is more difficult to learn to operate an excavator than it is to learn to operate many other machines. Most excavators have one joystick for controlling the arm and another for controlling the digger or other attachments. To dig with an excavator, you must practice moving both of them simultaneously.
How do I achieve my Trained Operator Card?
To achieve the Red CPCS Trained Operator Card candidates must pass both the CSCS touch screen H+S test (within the last 2 years) and the CPCS Theory Test and the Practical Test. 

To upgrade the Red CPCS Trained Operator Card you will have to achieve, within 2 years, the relevant NVQ. For more information on the required NVQ please contact us on 01623 287830.
