NPORS N204 Forward Tipping Dumper Wheeled (Novice) in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire (Classroom)

Learn to operate a forward tipping dumper safely, from the ground up

This three-day novice course gives foundation training and assessment in operating and maintaining wheeled forward-tipping dumpers, leading to the NPORS N204 theory and practical tests.

The novice route is the right choice if you have some, limited or no experience of the machine. If you already operate a dumper regularly and want to iron out bad habits before testing, the experienced operator route is shorter.

Delivery Method

Classroom and practical training at the training centre at Rings End, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, PE13 4DE, a short distance from March and Peterborough. Unlike CPCS, NPORS training and testing can also be delivered at your own premises where you have the necessary equipment and a suitable training environment.

Course Duration

3 days, including your test day

Course Criteria

• If you want the CSCS-logoed NPORS card, you must have passed the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test within the previous two years.
• No prior experience of the machine is required.

Course Content

On completion you will be able to:

• Operate the dumper to a minimum standard
• Fit and operate ancillary equipment
• Site the dumper safely and efficiently
• Identify and carry out minor adjustments and routine servicing procedures
• Prepare the dumper for travelling on the public highway
• Understand the capabilities, purposes and limitations of each machine

Certification

Successful delegates receive NPORS certification.
