COURSE INTRODUCTION

This course is designed to cover the NPORS curriculum for both Scissor Lifts and Booms (Cherry Pickers).

With competency cards being requested more frequently than ever, it is essential that any operatives are able to provide these as evidence that they are trained to use equipment safely. NPORS is an accredited scheme that will allow just this.

NPORS is widely recognised and is accepted on almost all sites. You can check whether NPORS is an approved scheme on your site by enquiring with your client/principal contractor.

This course typically takes 1-2 days to complete but can be extended to accommodate students with little or no operational experience or a greater number of students per course.

Please contact us for further information.
