Important Notice

Notes for Applicants and their Employers

Contractors Mechanical Plant Engineers (CMPE) has always recognised that a highly skilled and competent plant operator will perform operational duties and responsibilities efficiently, effectively and safely. In recognition that general industry needed operators who could formally prove competence, the association introduced the Certificate of Competence (COC) in 1983. Since then, the COC has gone from strength to strength and is widely acknowledged as being one of the best certification schemes within the UK. Typical feature of the scheme include:

i) Economical cost of certification
ii) Appropriate safety awareness training at an affordable cost
iii) Rigorous competence development and monitoring
iv) Freely available advice and guidance from experienced plant practitioners
v) The opportunity to acquire professional development

The COC works to standards set by the Off-highway Plant and Equipment Research Centre (OPERC) and follows the Voluntary Code of Practice for Plant Operator Training and the Best Practice Guide for Plant Instructors. Both of these publications can be purchased from the OPERC bookshop at http://www.operc.com.
