Frequently Asked Questions

I'm new to dumpers. Is this NPORS course suitable for beginners?
Definitely! We offer training from scratch, so even if you've never sat in a dumper before, you'll finish our course feeling confident.

I've driven dumpers for years but have no official certification. Can I just do an assessment?
Yes, experienced operators can complete our quick, one-day assessment. It's the quickest route to getting your NPORS card.

How much time should I reserve for this training?
It depends on your experience:

1 day if you're experienced and just need certification
2 days if you've operated dumpers occasionally
3 days if you're completely new to the equipment

Can I get trained at my workplace or must I come to your training centre?
You have both options. We run regular sessions at our training centres, but we're also happy to deliver training directly at your worksite if that's easier for you.

What's the NPORS card validity after the course?
Your NPORS operator card lasts for 3 years if it's the standard one. If you opt for the NPORS/CSCS card, suitable for most construction sites, it'll be valid for 2 years.

Is the NPORS qualification widely accepted?
Yes - NPORS cards are widely accepted across UK construction sites. Major contractors recognise it, so you shouldn't encounter issues.

I heard about CPCS tickets too. Which one is better: NPORS or CPCS?
Both are respected, but CPCS is often favoured by larger construction firms. NPORS is typically more flexible, faster, and affordable. We offer training that matches the requirements of both schemes.

Do you also offer combined dumper and roller training?
We do! You can take a combined course to earn qualifications for both dumper and roller operations at once. It's popular and cost-effective.

How much does the NPORS Dumper Course cost?
Prices vary slightly depending on your location and experience level, but we always keep them competitive. Just drop us a message or call us - we’ll quickly give you an accurate price.

How soon can I start the NPORS dumper training?
