National Plant Operators Registration Scheme Hampshire

Working across Hampshire, we provide the National Plant Operators Registration Scheme (NPORS) to enhance your career in the construction industry. 

NPORS certificates are designed to provide a flexible approach that can fulfill the needs of an employer. Holding an NPORS card is proof that the individual has passed both practical and knowledge assessments with competence in the categories indicated on the reverse of the card. Overall, they demonstrate high capability when operating these items. The health and safety corporation acknowledges NPORS providers as qualified to train, test and certify users.

At CITP, our professionally trained instructors offer NPORS training tailored to your individual needs, on-site. Moreover, we have two training locations in Basingstoke and Reading which are capable of accommodating all kinds of machinery including scissor lifts, cherry pickers and telescopic handlers.

For additional details, contact our experienced training team now on 01189 700 200. They will be glad to speak to you about your NPORS training requirements.

Alternative to the CPCS

NPORS is a great option for those looking to progress their career in the construction industry. We guarantee that you will acquire all of the essential abilities and understanding through the scheme. We provide support during your training, ensuring that you receive NPORS-standard instruction, assessment and evaluation.

Flexibility with NPORS

An NPORS card offers more flexibility than other schemes, making it an appealing training choice. This card provides you with the capacity 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 sites only.

Training 

At CITP, our Novice Training Course - complete with NPORS assessment at the end - offers those with no experience the chance to gain construction knowledge. No matter your prior abilities, you can obtain the necessary training here.

NPORS training is favoured by many of our customers due to its wide range of options, something that can't be found with other training programmes, including the following courses:

  • Loading and transporting with excavators
  • Vehicle banksman (or Traffic Marshall) 
  • Quick hitch (Safety or Awareness)
  • Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT and Genny)
  • Abrasive wheels
