There is a rising demand for qualified plant and machinery operators. Increasingly, contractors are demanding evidence of competence to nationally recognised standards. Rising customer expectations at all levels are driving up standards in plant and machinery operations and fuelling the demand for proven competence through qualifications.
Lantra Awards aims to meet that demand in the land-based sector, by offering the Level 2 NVQ in Plant Operations. The NVQ provides a progressive route to the CPCS from the VRQ Intermediate Certificate in Specialised Plant and Machinery Operations

Nationally recognised standards
National Vocational Qualifications measure and recognise the contribution that individuals make to a business.
Designed around the skills and knowledge people use in their jobs, NVQs measure all-round competence at work NVQs are based on national occupational standards. Crucially, these standards are developed and kept up to date by the industries themselves through their government - recognised Sector Skills Councils (SSCs). So you can be sure that the qualifications incorporate the best possible working practices.
Many industries employ plant and machine operators, so the national standards for these occupations have been developed by industry representatives from a broad range of sectors and designed so that they can be tailored to the needs of particular industries. Lantra Awards has tailored its NVQs in Plant Operations so that they are particularly relevant to those working in the land-based sector but also to meet the needs of people operating plant in any other sector, including construction.
