FAQs – Wheeled Loading Shovel A21 Course
Do I need any previous experience to take this A21 course?
No, you do not need prior experience. The training is designed for complete beginners as well as those wanting to refresh their skills. We start with the essentials – safety, machine components, controls – and build up to the practical work so you’ll feel confident by the end.
What do I need to bring and what will I learn in the practical section?
You’ll need your own PPE (steel-toe boots, high-visibility clothing, hard hat, etc.). In the practical segment, you’ll learn how to carry out pre-start and running checks, manoeuvre the shovel over rough terrain, load and unload, work on slopes, shut down correctly, and more. We make sure each delegate has ample hands-on time under supervision.
Will I get a CPCS card, and how long is it valid for?
Yes – on successful completion of both theory and practical assessments, you’ll receive a CPCS Red Trained Operator Card. This card is valid for two years. If you also complete the relevant NVQ during or after this course, you may be eligible to upgrade to a 5-year CPCS Blue Competent Operator card.
