Quick answer<\/span>

What is the NTSA plant operator practical test?<\/h2><\/div>\n

Kenya’s published Category G curriculum provides for a theory and practical examination<\/strong> for industrial, construction and agricultural machine operators. The examination provision lists a driving test examiner<\/strong> as the responsible officer, a driving test centre<\/strong> as the location, 2 hours for theory<\/strong>, and 0.5 hours\u2014approximately 30 minutes\u2014for the practical component<\/strong>. The published overall pass requirement is above 70%<\/strong>. In simple terms, the final practical examination is a short window in which you have to show that the competence developed during training is actually there.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n
