Plant Assessment

Plant Assessments

On site assessment is for operators who are experienced in operating the equipment they are to be assessed on, and must not be confused with training. To this end guidance on the level of competence required before assessments can be carried out on site is set out below.

Plant Assessments can be carried out for operatives with prior working experience on the relative piece of plant. Prices are calculated on an individual basis dependant upon the number of plant items, the site location and type of certification required.   Maximum of 6 assessments per day.
