CPCS (A20) - Hoist Training and Testing

The CPCS Hoist training course (A20) is aimed at those who operate a Hoist in a construction environment, and is only applicable for candidates who have passed the CSCS Health, Safety and Environment touchscreen test for Operatives within the past two years.

The A20 Hoist Operator Training course has many endorsements and CPCS certification for the CPCS Hoist training course includes:

A20A: Hoist - Rack and Pinion Goods
A20B: Hoist – Passenger/Goods Combined
A20C: Hoist – Rope Operated Goods
A20D: Hoist – Transport Platform

Delegates will need to choose which area of the CPCS Hoist training course to take based on the requirements of their current job role.

If you are a Private Individual looking to undertake CPCS Hoist Operator training, the implications are very different from those of a CITB registered construction company. 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 this course.

There are both Foundation and Experienced Worker CPCS courses available for these different endorsements; Experienced Worker training courses are only for operators with 2 or more years’ recent experience.

Successful delegates will gain the CPCS red card (trained operator) for the Hoist category, which is valid for 2 years. Candidates who hold the this CPCS card can then apply to complete the NVQ in Plant Operations to secure a Blue Competence CPCS Card.

CPCS Course Detail

Construction hoist operator training course content is largely the same for both Foundation and Experienced Worker courses, but foundation CPCS courses will be longer in duration and include further theory/practical training to that of the Experienced Worker course.

The CPCS theory test is a verbal questions and answer session which will take approximately an hour to complete. The CPCS practical test for the Hoist must be completed within fifty minutes and will consist of the candidate using the machine to complete a variety of activities and manoeuvres including loading and unloading platforms.

This CPCS course includes the following elements:

The nature of the sector of industry
Roles and responsibilities of the operator
Basic construction, controls and terminology relating to the Hoist
Pre-use and running checks
Signals, instructions and hoist working limitations
How to place the hoist in an out of service condition, isolate it and secure it
