This CPCS dumper course is for forward tipping dumper drivers who wish to achieve a formal qualification, and this will help you to be issued with your red trained operator card.
CPCS dumper training courses are nationally recognised as giving the highest quality of training to new dumper drivers and will include all CPCS theory information and a practical test.
The Leith CPCS dumper training course is a more formalised training course completed at a CPCS training centre, and all training and testing are completed at the CPCS site.
Similar to the CPCS training course, you will learn how to operate a forward tipping dumper and gain access to your NPORS-trained operator card following completion of the course. However, the NPORS qualification can be easier to complete for some learners.
Unlike the CPCS theory and practical test, which can only be completed at the CPCS training centres, you can complete the NPORS theory and practical test at the site you work at.
The option to complete in different locations is a benefit for those who cannot travel to one of the accredited CPCS training centres. The ability to complete the training course and apply for your operator card on a machine you are familiar with and have been using on-site with supervision can also be helpful.
The forward tipping dumper training course will cover numerous aspects of training in one course, regardless of whether you choose CPCS or NPORS for completion, including:
The dumper training will assess your skills with using the machine throughout each step of the course.

The cost of the dumper training course will depend on the type of course you need or choose to complete. Our prices are competitive, with courses starting from as little as £500 plus VAT. If you would like more information regarding the cost of our courses, then please contact us to discuss this.

On completion of the NPORS testing process, you will be able to apply for your competent operator card, which will be valid for five years from completion of the course.
If enrolled on the CPCS training course, you will be issued with a red card which will be valid for two years following successful completion of the course. After the red card has been issued, you will have two years to gain on-site experience and complete an NVQ.
