The NPORS route allows you to:
- Include attachments. e.g. adding a bucket / sweeper to a telescopic handler
- Restrict the card for operational reasons. e.g. 180 excavator- restricted to front bucket use only
- Restrict the card for commercial reasons. e.g. restricting the use to the company sites only
NPORS Routes:
EWT/Renewal– For those who are experienced, they would attend an EWT (Experienced Worker Test). Completing this will make the successful candidate viable for an NPORS card. The card would be valid for 5 years.

Novice – For candidates to be up skilled with no experience operating plant previously. Our 10 day novice course has been tailored to teach every element of safe plant operation.
Card Routes:
NPORS – Traditional NPORS 5 year card
NPORS – Red (Training) 2 year card with the CSCS logo on it – Once an NVQ has been completed in the particular item of plant then you can apply for a blue (competent operator) NPORS card with the CSCS logo on it (following the CPCS route)
