Certification
An NPORS (National Plant Operators Registration Scheme*) Certificate, will be presented to each
person on successful completion of this course (includes examination). We do, however require
2 passport photographs of each delegate, to enable us to present them with this certificate.
This course is of standards acceptable to the Health & Safety Executives.

*Each delegate will automatically become members of The National Plant Operators Registration
Scheme. They will be registered on this scheme for a period of three years. When the registration
period is approaching expiry, your company, or operator, will receive a renewal slip. This provides
an option for your company to, either, provide a refresher course or, sign the slip as evidence that
the operator has been accident free over the preceding registration period and has maintained a
good standard.

Course Length
3 days – although this may be reduced to 2 days (minimum) dependant on experience and reduced
numbers attending the course.

NOTE: This programme has been laid out for the duration of three consecutive days. If more appropriate,
the course instructor can re-arrange the timetable to suit the requirements of the trainees/company.
