CPCS / NPORS questions
Can you arrange testing on our site?
Often yes, where you have suitable ground and machines.
Which is better, CPCS or NPORS?
It depends on the client. Many major contractors ask for CPCS, while NPORS with CSCS logo is widely accepted and often quicker to arrange.
Do I need a Health and Safety test first?
Yes, the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test is required before a card is issued. We can help you book it.
Can experienced operators go straight to test?
Often yes. Experienced worker routes are available where you can evidence recent relevant hours.
