Plant construction courses in Portsmouth
KOPLANT Construction Training is a family-run provider with more than 40 years in the industry and full CITB Training Provider Network accreditation. We work with contractors, groundworks firms, utility gangs and individual operators throughout Portsmouth, delivering the plant tickets, streetworks qualifications and NVQs that sites in this area actually ask for.
Every instructor has operated the plant they teach. Candidates leave able to do the job safely and confidently, not just able to pass a test. Where a course can be delivered on your own site and your own machines, we will do that, because it costs you less downtime and produces better operators.

How can we help?
Flexible delivery around a live job

- On-site training on your own plant and in your own conditions
- Centre-based courses when a live site is not practical
- One-to-one coaching for candidates who need extra time
- Bespoke in-house programmes for larger workforces

FAQs
Training in Portsmouth — FAQs
Yes. On-site delivery is how most of our Portsmouth work is done. We bring the instructor and the paperwork to you, train on your own plant, and keep your job running while your team gets carded.
Two weeks is comfortable for most courses. We can often move faster for single candidates or urgent renewals, so call with your deadline before assuming it cannot be done.
NPORS (with CSCS logo where the health, safety and environment test has been passed), CPCS, NRSWA streetworks registration cards, EUSR registrations and construction NVQ certification from Level 2 to Level 6.
Yes. Novice routes take longer than experienced-worker routes because you are building genuine operating hours, but we run them regularly and we will be upfront about the time and cost involved.
