NPORS: Telescopic Handler

NPORS Telescopic Handler Training Course

NPORS Telescopic Handler qualification is recognised by the HSE. It shows that SB Skills Solutions has NPORS trained instructors who are fully competent to train, test and certify operators across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, the North West and rest of the UK. NPORS is looked at as an alternative scheme rather than attending CPCS training.
