CPCS A31 Ride on Roller (Novice) in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire

This two-day novice course gives foundation training and assessment in operating a ride on roller, leading to the CPCS A31 technical test.

The novice route is the right choice if you have some, limited or no experience of the machine. Experienced operators wanting to iron out bad habits before testing can take the shorter refresher route instead.
