The E’s today are all about Excavators – continuing with the Excavator Micro in our series of short blogs looking at the A to Z of courses we do.
Excavators need very little explanation, Micro’s are the baby digger of the NPORS categories, for machines up to 1 tonne. We cover all aspects of training from Novice operators, candidates who need refresher training to experienced workers, just requiring an assessment.
Course ratios – Excavator Micro
The course durations, training and testing ratios are
Novices : 1 – 10 days 3 Delegates
Refresher & Test : 1 day, up to 3 delegates
Experienced Worker Tests (EWT) : 1 day for up to 4 delegates. Alternatively for EWT’s we can deliver NPORS special combination of 3+3, meaning 3 candidates can be tested on Excavator Micro + Dumper in the same day.
Here is a link to the course syllabus blog, containing all the information you need to know about the training we can offer.
Accreditation
Upon successful completion of the course the candidates will received a Kentra Training ID card (credit card size) detailing the course completed.
In addition, we have the option to register the training with our Awarding Body NPORS. www.npors.com If your candidates are working offsite or on other peoples premises a recognised Awarding Body membership maybe advantageous. Prior to training we would apply to NPORS to register the course and upon successful completion of the course we would apply for the candidates 5 year membership with the NPORS scheme.
