Locations
Training can be carried out at our centre in Fife, or at your own site where criteria be met. CPCS testing must be carried out at our approved test centre in Fife however NPORS testing can be carried out at your own site providing site specifications can be met.
Course Duration
A 1 day test only can be carried out on candidates with relevant experience
Training duration is dependent on the number of candidates, and each candidates previous experience. Generally a novice candidate would require 10 days training on the 360 Excavator (based on 3 candidates with little to no experience), however this can be significantly reduced with relevant experience
