Rear Tipping Dumper & ADT Training (NPORS N205)
NPORS N205 training for rear tipping dumpers and articulated dump trucks — covering articulated chassis machines up to 15 tonnes and rigid chassis machines of all sizes.

Who it's for
If any of these sound like your organisation, this is the right course.
- Quarries, landfill and bulk earthworks operations
- Civils contractors moving muck on larger sites
- Plant hire companies putting operators on ADTs
- Operators moving up from a forward tipping dumper
- Employers needing carded operators for a new contract
What's covered
Every session is practical, and tailored to the way your team actually works.
- Operator responsibilities, site rules and haul road discipline
- Pre-use inspection and defect reporting
- Controls, articulation and travelling loaded and unloaded
- Loading, tipping and working with an excavator or loading shovel
- Gradients, edge protection and tipping at height
- Stability, load distribution and machine limits
- Working near people, vehicles and site traffic routes
- Parking, shutdown and transport
- Theory knowledge test and practical assessment
How it works
Machines, numbers and any deadlines — a new contract, a site audit or a card about to lapse.
We establish whether operators are novice, experienced or due a refresher, then confirm dates and a fixed price.
Training and testing run on your site, on your machines, around your shifts.
NPORS registration follows the test, and we remind you before anything expires.
Questions
Anything else, just call us on 0151 558 1470.
Is this the same as a forward tipping dumper?
No. Site dumpers with a forward skip are N204; rear tipping dumpers and articulated dump trucks are N205. Different category, different card.
Which endorsement do we need?
Articulated chassis machines are endorsed up to 15 tonnes; rigid chassis machines are endorsed for all sizes. Tell us your fleet and we'll confirm.
Do you train on quarry sites?
Yes. Quarry and landfill work has its own hazards — haul roads, tipping points and edge protection — and we build the session around your site rules.
How many operators can you take at once?
NPORS ratios allow up to three candidates per instructor and machine, with a maximum of four where two machines are available.
