CPCS (A04) - Tower Crane Training & Testing
The CPCS Tower Crane training course (A04) is aimed at those operating a Tower Crane in a construction environment.
There are three endorsements for the CPCS Tower Crane course which are:
A: Trolley Jib – Cab Controlled
B: Luffing Jib – Cab Controlled
C: Trolley Jib – Remote Controlled*
*The A04C category has superseded the A63A & B Pedestrian Operated Tower Crane course which was available previously.
The Foundation course with Cab Controlled endorsements (A04A and A04B) typically lasts 10 days and covers 9 days of both practical and theory training, with a final day to test both practical technical knowledge and theory. The Foundation course for A04C (Trolley Jib – Remote Controlled) typically lasts 5 days.
Successful candidates will receive the CPCS Red Card (Trained Operator) for the A04 Tower Crane training category, which is valid for 2 years.
Please note that for all CPCS tests, candidates must have successfully completed the CSCS Health, Safety and Environment touchscreen test for Operatives within the past two years.
If you are a Private Individual looking to obtain a CPCS card for a Tower Crane, the implications are very different from those of a CITB registered construction company. For Private Individuals it is recommended that you click on the following link with information on CPCS Training and the Private Individual, before making a specific enquiry relating to a Tower Crane training course.
