Iam not sure if it’s still like this but my Cpcs card is unlimited size crane ,the Allmi ones are only valid for the size of crane you were examined on .also again the cpcs is self validating renewal and touch screen H&S test ,the Allmi i think is a full retest .

Ok thanks I will start to google for a training centre and I bet it’s not going to be cheap

Wuold recommend Tyne & Wear LGV on the Felling bypass. Colin does the HIAB training & he knows his stuff, as you would expect.

Just looked at this lgvtrainingcourses.co.uk/cou … ted-loader

We do loads of HIAB training, ALLMI licences are the way forward and less than half the price of CPCS. You can use your own truck or ours with remote control and choice of hook, brick clamp or clamshell bucket. We are based in York, get quite a lot of customers from Durham.

Is ALLMI recognized in the construction industry as I’ve only ever heard of the cpcs scheme for plant operators and more recently ROPS

ALLMI is recognised in the construction industry. We use ALLMI, and do a lot of Crossrail work, and it is more than acceptable on a job of this scale. It’s partnered with the HSE too so should be widely recognised.

Provided you do your training with a big enough crane, you gain unlimited size capacity too. I can’t remeber what size is the minimum required to get this though. We use are own vehicles for our training so it covers our whole fleet from 23TM to 65TM.
ALLMI also recognises a remote as an additional category or class as well as attachments like brick grabs or fly jibs.

As said before, it’s much better value than CPCS.

That really good info thanks

Thank P222, ALLMI made sure industry recognised their training scheme, it’s crucial to their existence. Our training vehicle is 20tm which is what most customer want for general work with builders merchants and muck away vehicles, remote control is a must, won’t get far without that nowadays.

I wouldn’t recommend Tyne & Wear LGV for anything tbh

Know Colin he is ok
