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

Step 1Tell us what you need

Machines, numbers and any deadlines — a new contract, a site audit or a card about to lapse.

Step 2Pre-assessment & quote

We establish whether operators are novice, experienced or due a refresher, then confirm dates and a fixed price.

Step 3We come to you

Training and testing run on your site, on your machines, around your shifts.

Step 4Cards & renewals

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.
