CPCS A40 Slinger Signaller Course

The CPCS A40 Slinger Signaller Course is designed to train individuals in the safe and effective role of a slinger/signaller on construction sites. Slingers are responsible for attaching loads to lifting equipment, while signallers guide crane or plant operators during lifting operations. This course combines theoretical learning with practical training to ensure candidates understand lifting techniques, communication methods, and safety regulations. Successful completion leads to CPCS certification, a nationally recognized qualification.

Who Can Apply

This course is suitable for:

  • New entrants to the construction industry who want to start a career in lifting operations.

  • Experienced workers who already perform slinger/signaller duties but require formal CPCS accreditation.

  • Employers and contractors aiming to certify their workforce to meet compliance and safety standards.

  • Individuals seeking career progression in plant operations, lifting supervision, or site management.

  • Be at least 18 years old.

  • Have basic literacy and numeracy skills to follow instructions and safety guidelines.

  • Hold a valid CITB Health, Safety & Environment (HS&E) test certificate taken within the last two years.

  • Prior site experience is beneficial but not mandatory, as the course is suitable for both beginners and experienced operators.

Course Details
