About this programme
A dragline's lattice jib can make it resemble lifting equipment at first glance, but its excavation role matters when choosing renewal learning. This A05 page is for the existing Dragline cardholder.
🏗️ Bucket-Based Excavation with Ropes
NOCN describes a bucket supported by a hoist rope and connected to a pull rope, with the machine performing excavation and extraction. Those features explain why A05 should not be selected from the jib shape alone or confused with a crane booking.
🔎 Choose the Correct Category
A02 Crawler Crane concerns a different suspended-load lifting category. A10 and A12 identify 180-degree excavators, also distinct from Dragline. The presence of digging work or tracks on a project is not sufficient to choose between these codes.
Related category pages: A02 Crawler Crane above 10 tonne · A10 Excavator 180 below 5 tonnes · A12 Excavator 180 above 5 tonnes.
💻 Your Renewal Learning
The current NOCN tool maps A05 to Earth Moving and Compaction. Study the assigned material online at your own pace. NOCN uses shared renewal modules; the equipment background here does not promise a separate machine-only syllabus.
🔑 Booking and Access
✓ TrainifyHUB category booking fee: £75.
✓ After purchase, contact hello@slbrothers.co.uk with your reference and relevant card codes.
✓ We check the booking and arrange external enrolment manually.
✓ Follow the individual access instructions supplied.
⏱ Study Planning
Approximately 2 hours is a planning estimate, not an official minimum or a scheduled class. Your pace, review needs and NOCN’s current material affect actual time.
📋 Completion and Renewal
Retain the learning evidence supplied by NOCN and check the separate current card-renewal requirements. CPD does not automatically renew your card or award new practical competence.

Learning Outcomes
📘 Bucket-Based Excavation with Ropes

These details explain the category. The actual current NOCN renewal material governs what you study.
💬 A Booking Decision in Practice
A worker searching for lattice-boom plant renewal sees both crawler-crane and dragline pages. They check whether the card states A02 or A05 and use the actual role, rather than the similar silhouette, to arrange the right booking.
🧭 Review and Apply
✓ Review assigned earthmoving CPD with your established dragline work in mind.
✓ Check separate excavator or crane entries where several categories need renewal.
✓ Retain completion records for the wider CPCS renewal process.
Use your training and authorised workplace procedures for practical tasks; this page is not an operating manual.
Frequently Asked Questions
20 questions answered
No. NOCN lists A05 Dragline and A02 Crawler Crane separately.
They help identify the dragline's excavation context, rather than relying on a similar lattice-jib appearance.
No. Use the precise category on your card.
Those are separate 180-degree excavator entries, not substitutes for Dragline.
No practical machine operation is included in this online renewal CPD booking.
CPD does not award another equipment category or practical competence.
Use the card category and role; a photograph is only supporting context.
Request a current category and learning-mapping check before buying multiple bookings.
The current mapping identifies Earth Moving and Compaction.
No. It is category background; NOCN's current assigned material supplies the actual renewal content.
Provide your booking reference and the category codes you need to renew. Explain if the card description or the machine used at work appears different, so the category can be checked before enrolment.
It is online self-paced learning, not a scheduled classroom session. Arrange a suitable period to concentrate and follow the external platform’s access instructions.
Use approximately 2 hours for planning. It is not an official minimum or a guaranteed finish time; pace, review needs and the available content affect duration.
£75 for this category booking. Confirm separate renewal applications, additional services and any other charges before purchase.
Enrolment is arranged manually. Contact hello@slbrothers.co.uk after purchase and follow the individual instructions once your learning access has been set up.
NOCN’s current route uses renewal CPD in place of the old renewal tests. Follow the current learning requirements and in-course questions rather than relying on an old test format.
No. Retain your completion evidence and meet the remaining current CPCS requirements through the separate renewal process.
NOCN’s A05 Dragline support page provides its category documents. The link in the course description helps you distinguish category assessment material from renewal CPD.
No. Evidence of CPD does not by itself establish practical competence or authorise operation of equipment on a site.
Email hello@slbrothers.co.uk before purchasing if your card code, category description or overlapping renewal learning is unclear.
What You'll Learn
✓ Identify the Dragline category represented by A05.
✓ Distinguish its bucket-and-rope excavation context from crawler-crane lifting.
✓ Review assigned earthmoving CPD with your established dragline work in mind.
✓ Check separate excavator or crane entries where several categories need renewal.
✓ Retain completion records for the wider CPCS renewal process.
Why This Programme
A booking for an existing Dragline cardholder should be based on the formal category, not a similar-looking machine or a broad site job title. A02 Crawler Crane concerns a different suspended-load lifting category. A10 and A12 identify 180-degree excavators, also distinct from Dragline. The presence of digging work or tracks on a project is not sufficient to choose between these codes.
✓ Confirm the precise card entry before enrolment.
✓ Use the related pages to resolve similar names.
✓ Ask for a mapping check when several categories need renewal.
✓ Plan independent learning around your commitments.
Certificate of Completion
Keep the evidence supplied through the NOCN learning route with your A05 renewal records. Follow current provider instructions and the separate CPCS application process. TrainifyHUB does not issue a replacement competence card or promise automatic renewal.
