Delays to card printing

If you are contacting us regarding having not received your CPCS or CISRS card, please be assured that NOCN staff, external teams and a new supplier have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to resume card production. Printing resumed on 14th September and we are working through the backlog of cards.

We apologise for any inconvenience. In the meantime, you, your employer or a site manager can visit the NOCN card checker at cardchecker.nocn.org to validate your card details.

 

Blue CPCS Competence Cards – More than 10 Categories Card Tap

In cases where individuals hold more than 10 categories, the new card will display nine printed categories on the reverse side, with the 10th row stating: "To See Additional Categories, Tap Card."

Further information on this can be found in the bulletins section of our website.

provide or improve employment prospects for individuals and experienced operators

keep a record of workers in the construction and allied industries who have achieved a recognised level of operating ability and competence, and to provide a means of identification

be self-financing; with any surplus funds being used for the benefit of the construction industry

encourage construction and allied employers to use certificated and competent plant operators

provide certification for UK workers that could be accepted in Europe through agreements with other European national schemes to mutually recognise qualifications.
