In addition to our range of online induction courses, Liffey Crane Hire also offers in-person NPORS-accredited training delivered by experienced instructors at our Dublin training centre or on-site at your location nationwide.
NPORS accredited training is important because it proves operators have been trained and assessed to a recognised standard. It helps improve safety on site, reduces the risk of incidents, and gives employers confidence that plant and lifting equipment is being used correctly. For operators, it boosts competence, credibility, and employability across a wide range of sites.
