Blue advanced demolition operative card

The Blue Advanced Demolition Operative Card is designed for experienced professionals working within the UK demolition industry who have progressed to the Advanced Demolition Operative (ADO) level. The role was previously associated with the “Topman” designation, which was replaced by Advanced Demolition Operative terminology under the CCDO scheme.
A CCDO Advanced Demolition Operative card demonstrates that the holder has followed the relevant training and competence route for advanced demolition work. Depending on the specific role and qualification, this can involve demolition-related qualifications, health and safety requirements and appropriate industry training. Current training providers state that relevant qualifications and a valid CITB Health, Safety and Environment test may form part of the requirements for obtaining a blue card
The Advanced Demolition Operative route is suitable for workers who have developed substantial practical experience within demolition and are progressing into more advanced responsibilities. Training can cover areas relevant to supervising and carrying out complex demolition activities, with the exact course requirements depending on the candidate’s existing experience and qualifications.
For employers and workers, having the correct CCDO card for the role is important when working on UK demolition and construction projects. The National Demolition Training Group administers the CCDO card scheme, while CITB publishes relevant training standards for demolition occupations.

Before applying, candidates should confirm the current qualification, assessment, health and safety test and experience requirements with the relevant CCDO/NDTG-approved training provider. A legitimate card should always be obtained through the recognised training and certification process rather than through an unofficial seller
