Mineral Products Qualifications Council

Mineral Products Qualifications Council (MPQC) is a not‑for‑profit organisation serving the quarrying, mineral products, mining, construction and related manufacturing sectors, with a focus on standards, training, apprenticeships and competency frameworks in high‑hazard, highly regulated environments. MPQC is formed of three divisions – MP Futures, MP Awards and MP Skills – which together support employers and individuals across the mineral products industry. MP Skills operates as the training and assessment division, delivering sector‑specific training, apprenticeships and assessment services that are employer‑led and flexible, with programmes tailored to the needs of both organisations and individual learners. MPQC’s trainers and assessors have real industry experience, applying this expertise to the development and delivery of training and assessments. Provision includes regulated qualifications, vocational training and apprenticeships designed to develop a competent and safe workforce that meets recognised industry standards. Through its divisions, MPQC works with employers to align training and apprenticeship delivery with operational requirements and future skills needs in the sector.
