The nearest full CPCS training and test centre for the High Peak — straight over the A53
Training options in the High Peak are thin on the ground, and for Buxton the practical answer is usually the A53 over the moors: our centre at Endon is around 35 minutes away and handles the whole ticket in one place — training, HS&E test and CPCS technical tests.
Quarrying and civils work around Buxton keeps demand for excavator, dump truck and loading shovel tickets high. You train on machines we own, with a maximum of two candidates per machine.

All delivered and tested at our own centre — prices shown are course prices, not broker mark-ups
You need a valid CITB Health, Safety & Environment test (passed within the last two years) before taking CPCS technical tests. We can arrange it as part of your booking, so you complete everything in one place.
Yes — we train over 1,000 candidates a year and regularly run dedicated courses for contractors. Because we own the machines, we can schedule around your project dates. Call 01782 503 500 for group rates.
Many "local" listings are brokers who resell courses at marked-up prices on hired machines. We are the actual training centre: our own fleet, our own CPCS testers on site, a maximum of two candidates per machine, and a 5-star Google rating from 210+ operators.
