NPORS Skip Loader Training (N219)
Get NPORS-certified on the skip loader (N219) with CTG — an NPORS Accredited Provider. We run novice courses for new operators and shorter experienced worker tests, on your site or at our centre, nationwide.
Who is the NPORS skip loader course for?
The novice route suits operators who are new to the skip loader and need full training before testing. The experienced worker route is for operators who already use a skip loader regularly and need to gain or renew an NPORS card through a shorter test.
How the NPORS skip loader assessment works
- We confirm your route (novice or experienced worker) and book a date at your site or our centre.
- Novice learners complete theory and practical training on the machine.
- You sit the NPORS theory test and practical assessment with our accredited tester.
- On passing, you receive your NPORS operator card for the skip loader (N219).
