THE TOP 5 NPORS TRAINING COURSES OF 2021
N202 Excavator 360 training
Coming in at number one is the NPORS N202 Excavator 360 course. Operating a digger is the first machine that comes to mind for operators in training. Primarily, an excavator is the main type of plant equipment used within the construction sector, so we understand why it’s been the most popular choice this year.
So what does the course involve?
As an overview, the excavator 360 course will allow operators to:
- Carry out safety pre-checks
- Enter and exit a digger safely
- Prepare the machine for moving across various terrains
- Carry out excavating tasks under close guidance
- Complete end of shift shutdown procedures
The big question is, would you choose to operate a digger below or above 10 tonnes? Nonetheless, both options are available for operators!
The course duration will be anything from 1 – 10 days.
N201 Excavator 180 training
Following closely behind is the N201 Excavator 180 course. We have had the majority of operators invest in training to operate a backhoe loader, and we can see why.
What will the course cover:
Similar to the excavator 360 course, this training will involve:
- Locating the main controls and components
- Identify the correct PPE for operating
- Prepare the backhoe loader ready for use
- Operate the machine safely and efficiently
Depending on any existing experience, the course duration will be anything from 1 – 10 days.
N010 Telehandler training
Has telehandler training been on the top of your list of learning? It certainly has for our operators, as it comes in at the third most popular course this year. Having the experience to operate a telehandler is perfect for construction companies as it is such a versatile machine. Similar to the above courses, the NPORS N010 telehandler course also takes between 1 – 10 days to complete.

Additionally, operators can also choose to book onto our Telehandler Suspended Loads course for more in depth training to loading and unloading.
N214 Ride on Roller training
A ride on roller, another popular type of construction machinery often used on site and for work by the roadside. It has also been another popular course for our operators.
Our NPORS N214 Ride on Roller course will ensure operators learn how to:
- Identify all the major components of the roller and explain their functions
- Carry out all pre-operation safety checks
- Operate the roller safely also using the vibratory plate settings
- Ensure all shutdown procedures are followed
If you’ve got any compaction projects coming up then ensure your operators are fully trained!
