Orkney Training Group can provide Scottish & National Level II VQ's for Plant Operations for candidates to upgrade their CPCS Red Trained Operator Cards to the CPCS Blue Competence Card.
In order to gain the VQ all candidates must complete a portfolio, which contains all the necessary evidence to meet the Performance Criteria, and the Scope of Knowledge and Understanding as laid down in the National Occupational Standards for the Qualification as set by the Standard Awarding Body.
An assessor will work with the candidate to compile the portfolio of evidence through direct observation of the candidate in the workplace and will cross reference the additional evidence supplied by the candidate, or his or her employer against the standards to ensure all the criteria is met. Contact us for further information or use the enquiry form below.
