NPORS Plant Training Explained: Forklift, Telehandler and MEWP Courses

NPORS (the National Plant Operators Registration Scheme) is one of the UK's leading plant operator training and registration schemes. NPORS operator cards, issued on successful completion of training, are widely recognised and accepted across UK construction and industrial sites, and all plant and MHE training at Training Advantage Group is delivered by NPORS accredited trainers and assessors.

Counterbalance Forklift — Novice and Refresher

The Novice course is a full training programme for new operators with no prior experience. The Refresher course is aimed at operators who already have experience but need their qualification renewed.

Reach Truck

Covers narrow-aisle reach truck operation and safety, distinct from counterbalance forklift training due to the different handling characteristics of reach trucks in warehouse environments.

Telehandler

Covers all-terrain telescopic handler operation, commonly used across construction and agricultural sites.

MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms)

Covers powered access equipment across all categories, for work that requires safe operation at height.

Excavator / Dumper

Covers plant machinery training including 360-degree excavators and dumpers, for operators working on groundworks and civils sites.

All courses can be delivered on-site at your premises or at TAG's training centres, with novice and refresher options and group booking discounts available. Current course pricing is kept up to date on the plant and MHE training page.
