Workplace evidence, assessor discussion and practical support for experienced plant and lifting candidates.
CADUK Skills Academy (CSA) focuses on Plant Operations and Lifting Operations NVQs for experienced operators who already hold, or are working from, the relevant CPCS or NPORS route.
Our assessment model is built around the work candidates already carry out on site. There are no classroom sessions, no written assignments and no exams. Instead, candidates provide evidence from real work and complete an assessor discussion about their day-to-day duties.
We offer remote and on-site assessment options, giving experienced operators a practical way to complete the NVQ required for CPCS and NPORS card progression.
CADUK Skills Academy is part of the CADUK Group. Since 2011, the group has supported thousands of construction professionals through recognised NVQ assessment routes.
