Entry Requirements
It is important that any candidates have a good understanding of spoken and written English, interpreters are available upon request for those who are not fluent in English. All candidates will need to provide their own appropriate PPE for training and testing purposes.
Outcome / Qualification etc.
Successful candidates will obtain an NPORS ‘National Plant Operators Registration Scheme’ card on completion. Those requiring the CSCS-embossed Red Trained Operator card (2 year validity) will need to have a valid CITB HS&E test; during this 2 year period candidates will need to achieve the relevant plant operations NVQ that will enable them to upgrade their Blue Competent Operator card (5 year validity).
Alternatively, candidates not holding a valid CITB HS&E test will only be eligible to receive the traditional 5 year NPORS operator card, however this doesn’t carry the CSCS logo and isn’t as widely recognised.
Course delivery details

Any participants undertaking a novice Container Handler course will also undertake theory training to prepare them for the multiple-choice assessment. All participants are provided with and are encouraged to read Nationwide Training Provider’s NPORS study notes
