History of MPQC
The Mineral Products Qualifications Council (MPQC) was established in 1983 to help develop and maintain industry training needs and was originally known as Quarry Products Training Company Ltd.
We are a ‘not for profit’ membership organisation whose members are derived from the quarrying, mineral products, mining, construction and related manufacturing sectors. MPQC members cover a wide breadth of the mineral products industry and range form sole traders to multi-national corporations.
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.
