⭐ From beginner to CPCS Blue Card – another fantastic success story! ⭐

A huge congratulations to Andy Kelly on successfully completing his Level 5 NVQ after passing his CPCS A61 Appointed Person course with us.

Andy attended our London Waterloo training centre with no previous site or lifting planning experience, wanting to develop his knowledge as a SHEQ Consultant. After successfully achieving his CPCS A61 Appointed Person qualification, he went on to complete his NVQ with Ainscough Training Services, allowing him to apply for his 5-year CPCS Blue Competent Operator Card.

We're incredibly proud to receive reviews like this:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I can't recommend Stuart highly enough... with no previous experience of site work or lifting plans I passed the course and achieved my CPCS A61."

"After spending the first part of this year gathering evidence for my Level 5 NVQ, I had my final interview with Lee Barnes who made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. 10/10 yet again guys. I'll be recommending you for A61 & NVQ to anyone who asks."

Thank you, Andy, for your fantastic feedback and recommendation. We'll be sure to pass your kind comments on to Stuart Hall and Lee Barnes.

If you're looking to become a CPCS Appointed Person, or you're ready to progress from your Red CPCS Card to the 5-year Blue CPCS Competent Operator Card, our experienced team can support you every step of the way.
