Training delivered through a combination of classroom-based tutorials and practical instruction. Delegates will cover manufacturer knowledge and awareness of lifting operations, and general knowledge of safety procedures, and best practices.

The NPORS theory and practical tests will be undertaken under test conditions.

Delegates who achieve the NPORS theory and practical tests will receive their NPORS Traditional or NPORS CSCS red trained operator card. Please see additional information below for the expiration of these cards.

There are two types of NPORS red trained operator cards: NPORS CSCS card and NPORS Traditional card.

For individuals operating in sectors beyond construction, where the mandatory requirement for an operator card bearing the CSCS logo does not apply, NPORS offers its traditional operator card. While the standards and methods to achieve this card are identical to those of the NPORS/CSCS operator card route, the traditional NPORS card does not feature the CSCS logo. When obtaining this card, you can choose between 3 or 5-year registrations based on sector-specific or in-company requirements.

Individuals operating within the construction sector should opt for the NPORS CSCS route. If the NPORS CSCS red trained operator card is achieved, you should begin working towards the relevant NVQ to enable you to upgrade to a NPORS blue competent operator card before your red card expires.
