As the number of enquiries and bookings grow rapidly here at the Diggerland Plant Training School, we’re thinking ahead for next month. Our instructors have now pencilled in some additional NPORS training dates for September.
If you’re looking to gain an extra qualification, or want to get your foot in the door of the construction sector, then we would highly recommend booking in sooner rather than later to reserve your space!

NPORS FORWARD TIPPING DUMPER COURSES
Aside from diggers and telehandlers, dumpers are certainly up there as one of the most used types of machinery. They are also a crucial part of most construction projects.
If you’re looking to operate a forward tipping dumper truck, we currently have one space available on our upcoming course running on 1st – 2nd September.
Operators will have access to Thwaites and Terex dumpers, whilst completing the following tasks:
- Locating and explaining the key controls and their functions
- Conducting all safety checks before using the dumper truck

With limited spaces available we highly recommend booking as soon as possible. The full course details for our NPORS forward tipping dumper can be found on our website.
NPORS TELEHANDLER COURSES
A telehandler can be used for a multitude of tasks including moving materials including bricks and gravel to suspending loads with a chain. Having the training in place to operate a telehandler could also be beneficial for the operator to have.
We currently have a few spaces remaining for our NPORS Telehandler course running on 19th – 23rd September.
If you’re thinking of booking onto our telehandler courses, then you can expect to learn the following:
- Be able to locate and identify the major components of the machine and explain their functions
