Important – Loadmaster vs Loader / Securer

The NOCN Loadmaster Hazard Awareness course develops awareness and understanding of how loading and unloading operations should be safely managed.

It is different from an operator qualification such as CPCS A49/A50 or NPORS N120 Plant Loader / Securer, which assesses the practical skills required to load, unload and secure plant.

If you are unsure whether you require Loadmaster training, Loader / Securer training or both, Entra Training can advise you before booking.
