We limit training to two candidates per machine, ensuring genuine hands-on experience. Many courses run 1:1, depending on availability. ⚠️ If a provider doesn’t publish their ratios, ask why?
Unlike providers who hire equipment, we own and maintain our own fleet. Machines are always available, properly maintained, and identical to what you’ll use during testing.
If you already have operating experience, we’ll assess you before you book. Our free practical assessment ensures you’re placed on the correct course length, avoiding unnecessary training days and cost.
We work with recognised academic partners to support Level 2 NVQ pathways. Subject to eligibility, funding may be available to help you achieve your CPCS Blue Card.
We offer flexible payment plans, allowing you to spread the cost of your CPCS training without compromising on quality.
