Description
The Level 2 NVQ Certificate in Plant Operations – Telescopic Handlers is for operators who hold a red trained operator card under CPCS or NPORS and want to upgrade to a blue competent operator card. This qualification confirms your ability to operate a telescopic handler safely, efficiently, and in line with site procedures and legal requirements.
The NVQ covers all core aspects of telehandler operation, including load handling, machine positioning, lifting to height, attachment use, and working safely around people and structures. Whether you operate a standard telehandler or one with specialist attachments, this qualification is tailored to your working environment.
Assessment is fully work-based and includes observation of your live site work, professional discussions, and supporting evidence such as lift plans, maintenance checks, and risk assessments. There are no exams or classroom sessions — just recognition of the skills you already use on site.
This qualification enables you to progress in your role and meet CPCS or NPORS requirements for the blue competent operator card.
