We are Mineral Products Qualifications Council

Our purpose is to fulfil the extractive sector’s need for a safe, competent and sustainable workforce through the setting and maintaining of standards and qualifications, ensuring quality training and assessment. MPQC is formed of two divisions; MP Awards and MP Skills. The two divisions operate independently of one another and are governed and regulated by a range of Government Bodies and Independent Regulators.

MP Skills has led industry training and competency assessment within the extractives sector for over 30 years and provides services that cover the whole of the UK.

mp connect is a state-of-the-art card system that will replace the variety of cards that drivers and contractors are required to carry with them and enable anyone employed within the extractives industry.

MP Awards is a dedicated sector-specific Awarding Organisation for the extractives, mineral processing, and related manufacturing sectors.
