NPORS N204 Forward Tipping Dumper Training

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.
