It’s a requirement within The Quarry Regulations 1999, that everyone working in a quarry is competent to perform their daily duties. Suitable for those involved in processing operations, such as wash plants, crushing, screening and bagging materials.
Contact us through the website chat, email or phone and we will guide you through the process, and take any questions, as well as confirming the award is suitable.
Once the administration is complete, an invoice will be raised. Once settled we will allocate an Assessor who will contact you to schedule an induction within 10 working days.
The first visit with your assessor will be an induction. This will explain whats required to achieve the award, as well as the centre and awarding organisations policies. You will then plan visits based on the work set by your assessor and taking into account your available time.
Once you and your assessor have completed the award, it will then pass to an allocated internal quality assurer (IQA), who will review the award, contents and process to ensure it aligns with the standard required. Only after this can the award be considered complete.
Once the award is complete, and the IQA has submitted their report, we will then look to claim the award from the awarding organisation. This can typically take 15 to 20 clear working days, from the date of claim. Once we receive the certificate at the centre, we will provide you or your organisation with a copy, prior to sending the original in the post.

You then have 2 years to achieve the relevant MPQC Level 2 Vocational Qualification (VQ), in order to upgrade to a blue ''competent operator'' card.
The MPQC Plant Scheme is designed to ensure organisations within the quarry sector, meet their obligations under the Quarry Regulations 1999.
Once an operator has been assessed and issued a red card, the individual will enroll to complete the relevant Level 2 MPQC Vocational Qualification (VQ).
Once complete, we will be able to claim and issue you with a blue competent operator card and certification for your vocational qualification.
You will need to book a refresher prior to the expiry date of the plant item (every 5 years from the original assessment date), to maintain your licence.
Once you safely pass the assessment, you will be issued an updated Blue ''Competent Operator Card''.
Those operating multiple pieces of plant/equipment will complete a red card assessment for each piece of plant/equipment they need to operate.
They will then complete the required VQ, for one of those pieces of equipment, in order to upgrade their Red ''Operator'' card, to a Blue ''Competent Operator'' card.
All endorsements will be stated on the Blue card, however, you will need to complete a 5-yearly assessment, for each piece of plant/equipment on or before its expiry date.
Likewise, should you wish to add any additional endorsements, once you have achieved the appropriate VQ, you will only need to complete an initial assessment, and then this endorsement can be added to your Blue card.
