Should I do a Foundation or Experienced NPORS course?
We realise that you may already have experience with equipment and just need a qualification to support and prove your competency to potential employers and/or contractors. On the other hand, some delegates may be completely new to construction or to a particular category of plant equipment.
We offer courses for both. If you’re experienced you can just take a condensed version of the course and the relevant tests, semi-experienced delegates may prefer a few days training before taking the tests, or you might need to be taught from scratch. We have the course options for you, call our team and we will be able to provide you with a suitable location and date.
If you’re unsure which course to take, speak to our team who can give you more details and help point you towards the course that suits you most.
Assessment and Certification
You will take both a theory and practical assessment for your NPORS Forward Tipping Dumper training.
You will take a theory assessment, which is made up of open questions and multiple choice questions. You need to achieve 80% to pass the standard set for the theory test.
The practical assessment typically involves you demonstrating your ability to safely and efficiently operate the dumper. The assessor will evaluate how you carry out a range of tasks, such as setting up the machine, manoeuvring it across different terrains, loading, transporting and tipping materials. You will also be observed on how you follow health and safety regulations and correctly use personal protective equipment.
