Plant & Machinery

Overview:

We offer the Equipment Operators Registration Scheme (EORS) for a wide range of plant and equipment.

EORS focuses on a candidate’s ability to safely operate different categories of plant and equipment. It is designed to provide a flexible way for plant operators to have their ability confirmed via a Health & Safety test and a practical assessment involving the safe use of the relevant plant and machinery.

The training and assessments are carried out by our experienced qualified Assessors.

The Equipment Operators Registration Scheme is recognised by the Highways Agency and Local Authorities. You are however, advised to check that an EORS Licence is acceptable to your client before booking any training and/or assessments.

The scheme is aimed at those who are using plant on a regular or adhoc basis, who are working for Local Authorities; Local Authority Contractors; Highway Contractors; Highways Agency or other similar organisations.

EORS is not intended for those who are required to work on sites that are operated by the Major Contractors Group. These sites have a mandatory requirement for plant operators to hold a CITB CPCS Card.

Practical Training & Assessment

Skills Training Centre staff deliver all training and assessments on your site using your own plant/equipment. We provide you with a document that details the required facilities and documentation necessary to comply with the scheme requirements for each category of plant.

Licensing

On successful completion of the assessment process, candidates are issued with an EORS License which contains their photograph and a list of the plant categories they are licenced to operate. The Licence is valid for a period of 5 years.
