What You’ll Learn
When you take an NPORS course, you’ll learn everything needed to pass the end-of-course assessment. Subjects you’ll cover in the NPORS forward tipping dumper course include:
- Keeping compliant with LOLER and PUWER regulations.
- Understanding site safety rules.
- Recognising and reacting to potential site hazards.
- Learning about forward-tipping dumper components and their roles.
- Carrying out daily pre-start checks and reporting faults correctly.
- Manoeuvring forward tipping dumpers with and without loads.
- Loading, transporting, and tipping loads correctly and safely.
- Reading environmental conditions and working in different conditions.
- Loading and unloading onto low loaders correctly and safely.
- Parking, shutting down, and cleaning at the end of a shift.
We teach these subjects, plus many more, using a combination of theory and practical sessions. This allows you to receive all important information, plus put your skills into action in realistic scenarios. That way, you’ll be ready to go as soon as you hit your first construction site!
At the end of the NPORS dumper course, you’ll undergo an assessment. Upon successful completion of this assessment, you’ll receive your NPORS dumper ticket, which is accepted on construction sites throughout the UK. This will need to be refreshed every two or five years, depending on the qualification you gain.
NPORS Forward Tipping Dumper Qualifications
NPORS offers three different options for students studying their forward tipping dumper course. You can find out about these three options below:
- Regular Card: This card shows you’ve been trained to operate a forward-tipping dumper to a high standard and lasts for 5 years.
- Red Card: This demonstrates the same level of training as the regular card and includes the CSCS logo. It is valid for two years.
- Blue Card: This shows you’ve received training to NVQ Level 2 standard, proving that you’re a highly competent forward-tipping dumper operator. It has the CSCS logo and is valid for five years.
The CSCS logo shows that you’ve passed the HS&E course offered by the CITB. This is highly beneficial, as most employers prefer their team members to have this qualification. Therefore, we encourage everyone training with us to complete the HS&E training before starting their NPORS course.
It’s also important to note that the length of courses isn’t set in stone. While the regular NPORS N204 course takes around [INSERT LENGTH] for complete beginners, the duration can be shortened if students already have experience operating a forward-tipping dumper. In some cases, students can skip the training and do the assessment straightaway if they have the required skill and knowledge.
Why Train with Us?
There are many construction training schools in the UK, all claiming to be the best around. So, why should you choose us? Well, one area in which we really stand out is price. We know that getting ahead in the construction industry can be prohibitively expensive, which is why we keep our prices low. In fact, we are the most affordable training centre anywhere in the country, because we’ll match any quote you find elsewhere.
But don’t make the mistake of thinking low prices mean poor training. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Instead, we employ some of the best trainers around – trainers with years of experience not only teaching forward-tipping dumpers but also using them on construction sites. The result? Trainers who don’t just talk the talk but also walk the walk.
And these trainers are complemented by a full fleet of construction machinery, regularly maintained to ensure the best and safest possible experience for learners. In the rare event that a machine is out of service, we can quickly get another, ensuring your training isn’t affected.
When you combine our trainers, equipment, and prices, why would you choose to do your NPORS dumper training anywhere else?
