NPORS N402 Slinger Signaller All Duties (Novice) in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire (Classroom)

Learn to sling loads and direct lifts safely

This five-day novice course gives foundation training and assessment in slinging and signalling, leading to the NPORS N402 theory and practical tests. It qualifies you to work as a slinger signaller or slinger banksman.

The novice route is the right choice if you have some, limited or no experience. Experienced operatives wanting to iron out bad habits before testing can take the two-day experienced route.

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

5 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.

On completion you will be able to:
