🌟 Thank You, Sam! 🌟

A huge thank you to Sam Flavell from JN Bentley for taking the time to leave this fantastic review after attending our CPCS Appointed Person A61 course at our Central London venue in Waterloo!

➡️ “I attended the Appointed Person A61 course last week at Waterloo Training Centre and had a great experience. The venue facilities were excellent — clean, well-organised, and perfectly set up to hold the training comfortably.
The course was delivered by Stuart, who was outstanding throughout… explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, encouraged questions, and shared valuable real-world examples…
Overall, I would highly recommend both the training centre and Stuart…”

We’re so pleased to hear you had such a positive experience, Sam — and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Stuart and the team! 💬👏

📣 Big News — We’re Now NPORS Accredited! 🎉

We’re excited to announce that we are now accredited by NPORS (National Plant Operators Registration Scheme)! This will give our customers even more options for gaining industry-recognised qualifications.

CPCS testing and our industry-standard training hasn’t changed one bit — NPORS simply adds more accredited options for you.

🔧 What’s New?
We will be able to deliver NPORS training — for our Rigging & Fleeting courses (which we already run under our own industry-standard certification) — under the NPORS accreditation too. This gives it even greater industry recognition and flexibility for individuals and businesses looking for this qualification.

📌 Our Core CPCS Categories Still Centre on:
• Appointed Person
• Crane Supervisor
• Slinger Signaller
• Mobile Crane Operator
• Bespoke training
These remain the heart of what we do, and our commitment to top-quality

💡 Why This Matters:
NPORS is a nationally recognised accreditation that complements CPCS by providing flexible delivery and an alternative route to achieving formal competency — particularly useful for bespoke or on-site training.
Plus the NVQs we provide for the CPCS scheme support both the CPCS and NPORS competent card.

If you’d like to learn more about the differences between NPORS and CPCS, or what this means for you, drop us a message or comment below! 👇

📣Thank You, Ionut Drosu! 🙌

We really appreciate the kind words from Ionut Drosu about his NVQ Slinger/Signaller experience with our fantastic Assessor Darren McKevitt.

“Working with Darren throughout the assessment process was genuinely a positive and valuable experience. Darren's professional approach, clear guidance, and extensive industry knowledge made the entire process feel structured, transparent, and supportive. I particularly appreciated his patience and the clarity of his explanations… The support I received significantly improved my understanding of site operations, safety awareness, and best practice standards. The process felt not only like an assessment but also like meaningful professional development.”

Thank you, Ionut — that means a lot to the whole team! ⭐
