Unlock the potential for a rewarding career in construction with our NPORS N133 Plant & Vehicle Marshal course. This comprehensive training program equips you with the skills and knowledge to excel as a Plant Machinery Marshal, all while ensuring affordability and accessibility.

Plant & Vehicle Marshal Card: A Cost-Effective Alternative

Our course offers you dual certification, granting you both the Vehicle Marshal and Plant Marshal cards. These NPORS cards serve as a cost-effective alternative to the CPCS A73 Plant & Vehicle Marshal card. This means you receive top-quality training at a more budget-friendly price, ensuring it’s a win-win situation for you.

NOVICE courses are run over 2 days with a self-study period of 6 days between the training day and testing day.

NPORS with CSCS Logo: Proof of Competence

The NPORS card you’ll earn carries the coveted CSCS logo, certifying that you’ve successfully completed the relevant CSCS test. Similar to the red CPCS ‘Trained Operator card,’ our NPORS card also requires you to pass a CITB HS&E Operatives (CSCS) test or an NPORS CSCS test before proceeding to a theory and practical NPORS test.

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. At our center, we offer both CITB and NPORS CSCS tests to facilitate your compliance with industry standards.

What is the difference between NPORS & CPCS?

There is no difference; they are both awarding bodies recognised across the UK construction industry. CPCS has been operating for a much longer time hence the brand recognition, but the qualifications issued by both are the same.

Is this course accredited?

Yes, it is accredited by the NPORS.

What qualification do I get after this course?

You get a vehicle & plant marshal NPORS card; this is the same as a CPCS A73 Plant & Vehicle Marshal card.

Are there any prerequisites for the Course?

There are no prerequisites for the course, but all delegates are expected to hold a CSCS test not older than 2 years; please be reminded it is the test & NOT card.

What are the hours of the course?

The hours are 09:00 am to 05:00 pm for both weekend and weekday courses.

Can I come in and see you face to face as that would give me peace of mind?

Yes, absolutely! For over 14 years, we have been encouraging our customers to have a face-to-face discussion with us regarding their unique needs.

Knowing that you are dealing with real people and not made-up websites with stock images, will certainly put anyone’s mind at ease.

It will also give you the opportunity to meet some staff members or even your trainer if they are not delivering training at the time of your visit.
