Specialist NPORS Training for Padworth Candidates

Our Padworth candidates can take advantage of the National Plant Operators Registration Scheme (NPORS) to advance their careers in the construction industry.

The NPORS certificate provides a flexible solution for employers and helps build a competent construction workforce. After passing practical and knowledge assessments for specific categories, individuals will receive their NPORS card, which serves as evidence of their equipment operating skills. NPORS training providers are recognised by health and safety organisations as capable of delivering thorough training, testing, and certification services for operators.

CITP provides specialised on-site training services for all candidates. Our qualified instructors will travel to your location and tailor the training to meet your specific needs. Our team of experts also offers NPORS training for varying levels of experience. Additionally, we have convenient training facilities in Berkshire and Hampshire that are equipped to accommodate a variety of machine types, including scissor lifts, telescopic handlers, and cherry pickers.

For further details about our NPORS training programs, please contact our expert training team at 01189 700 200. They will be happy to assist you in addressing your specific NPORS training needs.

Alternative to the CPCS

Choose NPORS as a superior alternative to the CPCS card scheme. Once you become a member of NPORS, you will gain the essential expertise and understanding to progress in your construction career. Our team is committed to supporting you throughout your training journey, ensuring that you are well-prepared and evaluated following NPORS regulations.

Flexibility with NPORS 

The NPORS card offers superior flexibility compared to other schemes, making it a highly appealing training option. This card also grants you the capability 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 provides a comprehensive Novice Training Course that includes NPORS assessments upon completion for individuals without prior experience. We cater to all levels of skill, experience, and knowledge to ensure you receive the necessary construction training.

Many of our clients who enrol in the NPORS training program are drawn to its unique variety, which sets it apart from other training options available.

There are a variety of courses available, including:

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