NPORS with CSCS Logo; Proof of Competence
Similar to the red CPCS ‘Trained Operator card,’ the NPORS Trained operator card also requires you to pass a CITB or NPORS HS&E Operatives (CSCS) test if you wish for your NPORS card to hold the CSCS logo.
You can still take the NPORS test without a CSCS test pass ; in this case, you shall get the ‘traditional’ NPORS card without the CSCS logo.
CSCS Test Reminder
Please note that while your CSCS card may still be valid, the associated test may be older than two years. In such cases, you’ll need to retake the CSCS test to meet current requirements.
Please book CSCS tests on our website or by calling us on 020 3150 1299.
