Course Aims

The NPORS N138 course aims to provide the candidate with a thorough practical and theory training in operating a Telescopic

Handler Suspended Loads in order to to enable the candidate to pass the NPORS Theory and Practical Tests.

Course Requirement

All visitors must report to reception on arrival and follow site safety rules at all times.

There are no catering facilities on site, so delegates need to provide their own lunch. There are tea and coffee facilities available.

Candidates must bring and wear their PPE on site for plant testing.
