How renewal works now

CPCS Card Renewal, Simplified

NOCN Group, which runs the CPCS scheme, has swapped the old CPCS Renewal Test for an online CPD course. Instead of sitting a separate test for every category, you complete one course that shows your knowledge is still current across the plant you operate.

It's built for experienced operators, and it fits around your shifts:

One course, all categories

No separate test for each machine on your card.

Useful content

Focused on real skills and your career on site.

Any device

Phone, tablet or laptop — anything with internet.

Your schedule

Study when and where it suits you.

The eLearning is split into five modules that between them cover every current CPCS category.
