Our Courses

CPCS Courses

CPCS is the UK's leading scheme for plant operators in the construction industry, providing widely recognized qualifications that validate the competence of plant operators. CPCS certification is essential for anyone seeking to operate plant machinery on UK construction sites, as it is often a mandatory requirement by contractors and employers.

NVQ Training

An NVQ in Plant Operations is the next step for plant operators who want to demonstrate their competence in a real-world working environment. NVQs are work-based qualifications that assess an operator’s skills, knowledge, and ability to perform their role to industry standards.

ITSSAR is a widely respected training body that specializes in the accreditation of forklift and industrial truck training. At DDRF Training, we offer a range of ITSSAR-accredited courses that ensure operators are trained to the highest standards in the operation of material handling equipment. ITSSAR courses are essential for any operator working in warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial settings where forklift trucks are used.

NPORS provides a flexible, industry-focused approach to operator training and accreditation, making it highly regarded across multiple sectors.
