What Is NPORS?

The National Plant Operators Registration Scheme (NPORS) is one of the UK’s most recognised plant training accreditation bodies. It was established in 1992 to offer an alternative to traditional card schemes, and has grown to become a respected name in plant safety and operator competency.

Unlike CPCS, which is generally centre-based, NPORS allows for training and assessments to be carried out on-site— reducing downtime and offering a more practical route to certification.
