loads of guys belittle npors but if it has the cscs hologram its just as accepted as cpcs, no idea on training providers all the ones i see advertising seem to want a small fortune for what they actually do.
If you have CPCS logo on NPORS card i believe you have to do an NVQ within a certain time to renew it.You cant keep renewing it like a plain NPORS..
I know 2 excellent freelance NPORS trainers i would reccomend. One near Oxford(will travel a fair way) other near Cannock.Both up for some weekends as well..

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
It does make me chuckle when I think just how many tickets I would need to operate all my machines!
it's a bloody farce ...... purely a money making exercise, from training through reg., right through to insurers insisting on this bollox .... back door legislation at it's finest worst :mad: :mad: 🤬
Bri's DPC disc just goes to prove that the paperwork means absolutely **** all, compared to proper training, but more importantly EXPERIENCE and knowledge, plus an understanding of WHY:rolleyes:

Agree, but you missed out the biggy- common sense. Which isn't common at all.

You can't get any work employed without it though.
I spoke to a fencing company on the mainland who are too far away to be honest, £12 per hour and must have CSCS. I know CSCS should be cheap but the only place over here insists on you doing some other nonsense so it's £200 or more.
I've not seen a single job for a digger driver that doesn't stipulate "must have cpcs or npors".

f**k me you can do all the hours you want for me for £12 per hour and I don’t care if your ticket is written on the back of a fag packet in the morning to suit the machine! I’ll even provide lunch.

It’s what I do!
Got my letter today, CSCS telling me that because I did City & Guilds back in 1980/82 and have held a Gold CSCS card for some 30+ years, that apparently my NVQ3 trainee who has never been on site, and has absolutely no experience, can escort me on site with his Gold CSCS card, I see this as being very dangerous, not just for the NVQ3 but for operatives on site.

And very dangerous for the ahole if it turns up in person 👊🏽

I suppose the other way of looking at it is, send the trainee with NVQ3 and CSCS to site, tell the site “its broken” we will get it lifted on a lorry and back to yard for the experienced engineers to fix, we will get it back as soon as they have fixed it!
