NPORS N214 Ride on Roller (Novice) in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire (Classroom)

Learn to compact safely and accurately with a ride on roller

This three-day novice course gives foundation training and assessment in operating a ride on roller, leading to the NPORS N214 theory and practical tests.

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 experienced operator route instead.

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:

• Identify the basic construction, purpose and function of components, controls and gauges
• Comply with manufacturers' instructions and applicable legislation
• Carry out all pre-use and running checks
• Set the roller for site travel and travel over differing terrain including undulating ground
• Manoeuvre in confined areas using forward and reverse direction
• Set the roller for compaction duties and prepare an area prior to compacting
• Compact different materials to given instructions, up to supported and unsupported edges, against radii and around obstructions
• Recognise compacted and uncompacted areas
• State conditions that may cause instability, and safety procedures for unsupported edges and inclines
• Explain loading and unloading procedures on and off a transporter
• Place the roller in an out-of-service condition

Certification

Successful delegates receive NPORS certification.
