The NPORS Crawler Crane Training Course aims to equip delegates with the fundamental knowledge and practical skills required to safely operate a crawler crane, in compliance with NPORS (National Plant Operators Registration Scheme) standards.
Course Objectives:
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of the operation and safety protocols involved in using a crawler crane.
- Develop practical skills to handle a crawler crane efficiently in various working environments.
- Be prepared for the NPORS assessment, ensuring they meet the industry’s safety and operational standards.
Certification:
Successful delegates will be issued with an NPORS Operators Card, valid for 5 years, confirming their competency in operating a crawler crane.
Course Duration:
The length of the course is flexible, depending on:
- The experience level of the delegates.
- The number of participants.
- The ratio of delegates to machines per instructor.
It is recommended that all delegates complete the NPORS-specific health and safety test prior to assessment.
NPORS Assessment:
The NPORS assessment will test both theoretical knowledge and practical ability. Upon successful completion, participants will be awarded the NPORS Operators Card, valid for 5 years.
Requirements:
- All delegates must bring valid photo identification, such as a passport or driving licence.
- Training can also be conducted at customer premises if the facilities meet NPORS testing criteria.
What does the NPORS crawler crane course cover?
The course covers crawler crane operation and the safety protocols around it, with practical handling in a range of working conditions and preparation for the NPORS assessment. Delegates are asked to bring photo identification on the day.
Can the course be run at our own site?
Yes. Training can take place at your own premises provided the facilities meet the NPORS test criteria — which means having a suitable crawler crane and a safe working area available on the day. Otherwise the course runs at our approved test centre in Co. Offaly.
