Description
The Level 2 NVQ Certificate in Plant Operations – Lorry Loader is designed for operators who already hold a red trained operator card under CPCS or NPORS and want to upgrade to a blue competent operator card. This qualification confirms your competence in operating a lorry loader safely and efficiently in line with industry requirements.
The NVQ covers a range of lorry loader configurations, including hook, knuckle boom, clamshell bucket, and hydraulic clamp variants. Whether you’re loading materials, positioning loads at height, or handling bulk materials, the assessment process ensures your skills are recognised across the relevant type of equipment used in your role.
Assessment is entirely work-based and includes on-site observation, professional discussion, and submission of supporting evidence such as lift plans, risk assessments, daily checks, and photographic or video proof. There are no exams or classroom sessions — your qualification is based on the work you already do.
This flexible NVQ fits around your job and formally demonstrates your operational competence, helping you progress your career and meet the CPCS or NPORS scheme requirements for a blue competent operator card.
