To attend the NPORS Ride On Road Roller training course, candidates must be at least 16 years old and physically fit to operate plant machinery safely. While no formal qualifications are required, it is beneficial to have some basic understanding of construction site operations. For those aiming to apply for the NPORS card with the CSCS logo, passing the CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test within the last two years is mandatory. At Vally Plant Training, we offer both novice and experienced operator courses tailored to suit all levels, ensuring you gain the knowledge and confidence needed to operate a ride on roller safely and competently.
