NPORS

NPORS is a widely accepted and extremely versatile accreditation.

We were a founder member on NPORS back in 1992 and it’s something we are very proud of.
As of May 2023, we are now the only surviving founder member and now therefore…
WE ARE THE LONGEST ESTABLISHED NPORS TRAINING PROVIDER IN THE WORLD

Training and testing can be tailored to your exact requirements. For example: If you only use an Excavator in a yard to load from a stockpile, your card can be limited to just that – saving you time and money on training for excavating into the ground.

A Traditional NPORS card lasts for 3 or 5 years, depending on category.

In 2016, NPORS introduced a new “CSCS” version of their card. This card comes with a CSCS logo embossed and is accept on all BUILD UK construction sites.

Following a successful test (either experienced or following training), successful candidates will receive a 2 Year Training Operator (Red) Card.

Within the 2 year lifespan of your Red Card, you will be required to upgrade to a 5 Year Competent Operator (Blue) card. To do this you must complete an NVQ for the relevant unit of plant. A very similar structure to CPCS.
