This course gives you both the Vehicle Marshal & the Plant Marshal card which is an alternative to the CPCS A73 Plant & Vehicle Marshal card but at a cheaper price; it’s a win win situation for you!

The NPORS card that carries a CSCS logo proves that a candidate has taken the relevant CSCS test.

Like the red CPCS ‘Trained Operator card’, this NPORS card will require for a candidate to complete a CITB HS&E Operatives (CSCS) test or an NPORS CSCS test prior to taking a theory and practical NPORS test.

Please be aware that your CSCS card may still be valid but your test may be older than two years! In this case, you will need to take a CSCS test.

We do conduct both CITB & NPORS CSCS tests at our centre as well.
