An Overview Of Our NPORS Training Courses
We offer NPORS training and testing nationwide.
NPORS is an approved CSCS Partner Card Scheme and these cards should be accepted when presented at the site gates. The important thing to look out for, alongside the card holder’s identification, qualifications and training is the silver CSCS logo, this is usually displayed on the front of a card.
CSCS Logo
In-line with the Government Strategy for Construction for a single logo that card schemes can work to, and as a result of the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) decision to award the single logo status to CSCS, the NPORS Construction Operator Card will in future be issued in line with the requirements stipulated by the CLC and will display the CSCS logo
When booking your course/test please let us know if you require the NPORS/CSCS Card or the traditional NPORS card.
All operators who require the NPORS/CSCS card must have completed the CSCS health and safety test within the last two years.
Novice Operators:
Are individuals who have no real operator experience or previous training on the equipment which needs to be used. The individual will need to complete a full course which is designed to give theory and practical knowledge which will be taught and practised over the course duration. All courses also include all relevant Health And Safety Legislation. Please see the course for duration for a novice.
Experienced Operators:
Are individuals who have in the past completed an operator course be it internal or external. This will be classed as a Experienced Worker Test only. We will send you revision notes for the theory questions. NPORS say someone operating a machine every day for at least 6 months is probably more experienced than an operator who has had training but only operates once a year, we recommend at least 1 year operating experience to do the EWT.
