CPCS A73 Plant & Vehicle Marshaller

CPCS A73 Plant Vehicle Marshaller – 1 Day Training & Test Course

The CPCS A73 Plant Vehicle Marshaller course is designed for individuals responsible for safely directing and controlling the movement of plant and vehicles on construction sites. This one-day course combines focused morning training with an afternoon Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) technical test.

During the morning training session, candidates will learn the key principles of plant and vehicle marshalling, including site safety, communication methods, hand signals, blind-spot awareness, exclusion zones, and working safely around moving plant and reversing vehicles. Emphasis is placed on compliance with current legislation, industry best practice, and reducing the risk of accidents on site.

The afternoon session consists of the CPCS A73 theory and practical test, assessing the candidate’s knowledge and ability to marshal plant and vehicles safely and effectively in a live or simulated site environment.

This course is suitable for operatives, banksmen, traffic marshals, and anyone required to guide plant or vehicles as part of their role on a construction site.

Course format:

• Morning: Classroom and practical training

• Afternoon: CPCS theory and practical test

• Duration: 1 day

Successful candidates will be awarded the CPCS Red Trained Operator Card (subject to CPCS requirements).

• Reword it to match other CPCS course descriptions you use

• Convert it into “test-only” wording

• Align it with CITB or employer-funded course language
