NPORS Training and Testing

The NPORS Training Scheme (National Plant Operators Registration Scheme) is well-known and accepted by many industry groups, including Build UK. The NPORS program helps train and test lift truck operators, mobile equipment operators, and users of powered tools in all industries. NPORS is partnered with the CSCS card scheme to identify the training level and skill level of individual workers. Completing the appropriate NPORS training and passing the necessary assessments can help you achieve a CSCS card, which is valuable for working in the construction industry. NPORS training is available for both novice and experienced professionals.

People who complete NPORS training and receive an NPORS card (NPORS operator card) can prove they have the right training for their job. One of the main benefits of NPORS training is that it usually occurs at the client’s site instead of just at the trainer’s centre. While some courses may have set dates, most are arranged based on requests. Like CPCS qualifications, you must pass a CITB Health Safety and Environment test within the last two years to complete any NPORS course.

What is the difference between CPCS and NPORS?

CPCS and NPORS are quite similar in terms of results and learning outcomes. Choosing between them depends on your learning style, budget, and the companies you work with.

CPCS is widely accepted on construction sites in the UK, but it can be more expensive and take longer to get certified. NPORS, on the other hand, is a cost-effective option that meets the same industry standards. You can train on-site with your machinery or at the training provider's location, while CPCS training is limited to certified centres.

Some companies still prefer CPCS, so it's worth considering this. However, most major construction firms will accept the NPORS card as a valid alternative.
