Forklifts are essential in the workplace and are operated throughout the world in warehouses, stores, construction sites, factories and many more places. Adequate training is required before operating on site, the three stages of training must be complete before an ‘Authorisation to Operate’ is issued in the workplace.
We are accredited by both RTITB and NPORS, and are regularly audited and monitored to ensure our training meets the standard.
Our forklift courses will vary in duration, some factors effecting this are truck type, number of delegates and also if the course is run with a restriction due to the operators daily work.
We offer the full range of MHE courses on offer from both the RTITB and NPORS and support you post course with a range of documentation and email/telephone support.
HSE statistics show that fatal injuries in the workplace have remained level in recent years and falls from height is still one of the biggest causes.
Course Aim
To provide delegates with a thorough understanding of the hazards associated with operating such machinery including attachments. To have a working knowledge of how the various machines operate and to identify the major components of the machine and explain their functions, including weight limits, and to carry out an effective pre use check.

Different Course Types
The type of forklift training course that you require, will all depend on the experience of the forklift operator. Below you can see the different courses available based on the level of experience.
Novice
A novice forklift course is for operators with no experience using a forklift or has been using one with no training previously for less than 6 months.
Refresher
To qualify for a refresher course, the operator must have proof that they have completed training in this category, without this proof they will not be ale to attend refresher training.
Conversion
If the forklift operator has previously used another truck type, then they can convert to another. For example, if a forklift operator has been trained on a counterbalance forklift, they can have a conversion course to a reach forklift.
Experienced
Some forklift operators may have previously been trained in-house or has been using the forklift without any training. Therefore an experienced forklift course would be for them. Minimum of 6 months experience is required.
