NPORS (Traditional) Operator Card

For those who operate in industry sectors other than construction and therefore not subject to the requirement to hold an operator card bearing the CSCS logo, NPORS has retained its traditional operator card.

Though the standards applied to this route and the methods of achievement are exactly the same as those applied to the NPORS / CSCS operator card route the NPORS traditional card does not bear the CSCS logo as non-construction industry sectors in the main do not have the same requirements as the construction sector i.e., trained operator card – VQ achievement – competent operator card.

End users have the option to select 3- or 5-year registrations for this card dependent on any sector specific or in-company requirements.

N.B. For those operating in the construction sector the NPORS / CSCS card route should be followed.
