About the CPCS Renewal Test
To renew your CPCS Blue Competent Operator card, you must take and pass the CPCS Renewal Test. The test makes sure that you have kept your knowledge of each plant category or group of categories held on your card up-to-date.
The tests are designed to cover the essential knowledge that is expected of experienced plant operators. These tests have been developed with industry to meet the needs of construction plant and trades.
Each test is 15 minutes and you will be required to take a renewal test for each group of categories that you hold on your card. Our Renewal Test Tool will help you to know which test(s) you need to take and prepare.
If you have added a new category to your CPCS Blue Competent Operator card within two years of your card expiring, you don’t need to take the renewal test for that category when you renew your card.
The CPCS Renewal Test has been a requirement of the scheme since October 2013.
