NPORS N405 Crane/Lift Supervisor (Novice) in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire (Classroom)

Take control of lifting operations on site

This three-day novice course combines classroom theory with practical training for the crane or lift supervisor role, then finishes with the NPORS N405 theory and practical tests.

The lift supervisor directs lifting operations on site, making sure every lift follows the plan set by the Appointed Person.
