Introduction to the CPCS Renewal Test Tool – CPD e-Learning
The CPCS CPD e-Learning is an important step in the process towards maintaining skills, knowledge and competency of the cardholder.

What is CPD?
CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. It is an ongoing and planned learning and development process to increase your knowledge, experiences and understanding. For CPCS this will be specific to one of five modules covering different topic areas of plant construction.
- – Earth Moving and Compaction
- – Lifting and Lifting Equipment
- – Piling and Pumping of Materials
- – Lifting Supervision and Management
- – Demolition
There are no tests as a part of the CPD e-Learning however there are some confirmatory questions that will need to be answered to progress through the CPD e-Learning.
