Mechanical Handling courses at Moulton: Introduction
The College owns an extensive range of modern forklifts and plant equipment, all of which are dedicated to the mechanical handling training unit. The practical aspects of the courses are carried out on a purpose built driving area to ensure realistic training.
Moulton College is a 'CPCS' Construction Plant Competency Scheme
test centre as well as being a registered member of the 'Independent Training Standards Scheme & Register' which is one of only five accrediting bodies recognised by the Health & Safety Commission.
There are two distinct areas of Mechanical Handling which are
detailed as follows.
CPCS courses
CPCS is the industry recognized standard in Construction and is what is required to gain a CPCS card which will enable candidates to operate plant on the Major Consortium Group building sites and on most other building sites.
On successful completion of the CPCS course candidates will be registered for their 'Red CPCS card' which is valid for 3 years (not renewable). Before the end of the 3 years candidates will need to have completed the NVQ in Specialised Plant Operation if they wish to continue working within the construction industry.
Our Mechanical Handling Centre offers all of the necessary training from Novice through to Experienced Worker (Blue Card) including the CPCS theory and practical test, Health and Safety and an NVQ/Diploma in Plant Operations.
If you are a levy paying organization and/or are working in the Construction industry you may be entitled to claim a grant towards the cost of your training. Moulton College will advise you how to do this. More information can be found at: www.cskills.org/levy-grant/grant/grants20112012/index.aspx
