NPORS Training Berkshire

We provide the National Plant Operators Registration Scheme (NPORS) for our Berkshire candidates to aid progression in your career in the construction industry.  

The NPORS certificate offers a versatile solution that caters to the employer's requirements and contributes towards establishing a skilled construction workforce.. Once an individual has successfully passed both practical and knowledge assessments for specific categories, they will receive their NPORS card. This card serves as proof of their competence in operating the equipment listed on its back. The health and safety organisation acknowledges NPORS training providers as fully capable of providing comprehensive training, testing, and certification services for operators.

CITP specialises in offering on-site training to all candidates; a qualified instructor will come to your site to provide training that is exact to your needs. Our expert instructors provide NPORS training services for all different experience levels. We also have training locations in Berkshire, Hampshire and Reading, which will accommodate different machine types such as scissor lifts, telescopic handlers and cherry pickers. 

To get more information on our NPORs training courses, call our specialist training team today on 01189 700 200 to discuss your NPORS training requirements with you. 

Alternative to the CPCS

NPORS offers an exceptional substitute for the CPCS card scheme. By enrolling in NPORS, you will acquire all the necessary skills and knowledge to advance your career in construction. Our team is dedicated to assisting you throughout the entire training process, guaranteeing that you are well-equipped and evaluated according to NPORS standards.

Flexibility with NPORS 

An NPORS card is a lot more flexible than other schemes which makes it a very attractive training solution. With an NPORS card you will have the ability to: 
Include attachments – E.g. Telescopic Handler – with bucket attachment
Restrict the card for operational reasons – E.g. 180 Excavator – restricted to front bucket use only. 
Restrict the card for Commercial reasons – E.g. Restricted for use on a company ltd site only. 

Training 

CITP can offer full Novice Training Course with NPORS assessments at the end of the of the training course for candidates with no experience. We always make sure no matter your current skillset, experience or knowledge you will have access to the construction training you need. 

A lot of our clients that take the NPORS training do so because of the variety that it offers, which cannot be matched by other training schemes. 
Some of the courses that are offered are: 

  • Slinging and lifting with excavator 
  • Vehicle banksman (Traffic Marshall) 
  • Quick hitch (Safety or Awareness)
  • Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT and Genny)
  • Abrasive wheels
