The NPORS Experienced Worker Test for Telehandler (N010) is designed for operators who already have substantial experience operating telescopic handlers and want to gain formal recognition of their skills. This is a test-only assessment, meaning no formal training is provided. Instead, candidates will complete a theory test and a practical assessment to demonstrate their competence.
Please note: We currently offer this test as onsite only, meaning the assessment must take place at your workplace using your telehandler. This ensures operators are tested in a familiar environment, using equipment they regularly operate.
