NPORS Training Provider
QST is one of the UK’s NPORS training providers specialising in the construction industry.
What is NPORS: The Accreditation and Registration Powerhouse of the UK
The NPORS has established itself as a prominent plant training program in the UK, despite not being as well-known as the CPCS card scheme. The program has made significant strides in improving its training and testing procedures, earning recognition from various construction companies. Additionally, BuildUK, a leading industry authority, has accepted NPORS as a legitimate training scheme.
The primary benefit of NPORS is its flexibility, with training being readily available on-site rather than solely at dedicated training centers. Recently, NPORS has aligned itself with CSCS, enabling training cards to bear the CSCS logo after passing the appropriate HS&E test.
Furthermore, NPORS offers plant operators the opportunity to broaden their skills and expertise, providing Trained Operator and Experienced Operator cards based on their level of experience. These qualifications can be attained via an NVQ, which can be an invaluable asset for operators looking to advance their careers.

What is a CSCS card?
Having a CSCS card is a clear indication that you are a competent professional in a particular industry. It shows that you have completed the mandatory training, and you possess the necessary expertise to excel in your line of work. The use of a CSCS card is mandatory in various sectors such as construction, engineering, and warehousing. It also serves as proof of your familiarity with the workplace safety protocols. In order to get a CSCS card, you have to pass a test that assesses your awareness of the relevant health and safety policies. Obtaining a CSCS card showcases your commitment to excellence and safety, and it is a compulsory requirement for many job positions in the industry.
What is a CSCS card used for?
Having a CSCS Card demonstrates that the person possessing it has completed the required training and obtained the necessary certification to work on a construction site. It is a validation of their ability to adhere to health and safety regulations, and an essential requirement for employees across a range of sectors, including construction, catering, and facilities management.
