About the CPCS Blue Card
The CPCS Blue Card proves that you are a trained and competent plant operator. The card lasts 5 years and is often the next step for those who hold the CPCS Red Card.
If you’ve never held a CPCS Blue Card before, we recommend reading our guide on How to Get Your CPCS Blue Card.
The CPCS Blue Card Renewal Process
Once your CPCS Blue Card has expired, you have up to 5 years to renew it.
Step 1: Pass the CITB Health and Safety Test
First, you will need to re-complete the CITB Health, Safety, and Environment Test.
The test lasts 45 minutes and requires a score of at least 45 out of 50 to pass.
Book your CITB Health and Safety Test at our Wokingham Centre.
Step 2: Complete the CPCS Renewal CPD
Next, you will need to complete the CPCS Renewal CPD. These are e-learning courses relevant to the categories you hold:
• Earth Moving and Compaction
