CPCS and NPORS are quite similar in terms of results and learning outcomes. Choosing between them depends on your learning style, budget, and the companies you work with.

CPCS is widely accepted on construction sites in the UK, but it can be more expensive and take longer to get certified. NPORS, on the other hand, is a cost-effective option that meets the same industry standards. You can train on-site with your machinery or at the training provider's location, while CPCS training is limited to certified centres.

Some companies still prefer CPCS, so it's worth considering this. However, most major construction firms will accept the NPORS card as a valid alternative.
