What will you learn with our training courses?
  • Introduction:

    A theory assessment is significant to your employees passing the course as it will test their knowledge on relevant information.

    Forklift Inspection:

    We will train your employees to carry out daily inspections on their forklift trucks as this is essential to their training. They will be trained with all of the skills and knowledge they need to check their forklifts every day to ensure they are safe to use before operating them.

    To ensure that they comply with Health and Safety regulations we will also teach your employee's load-handling theory.

  • Practical Assessment:

    After your employees have gone through the course, they will lastly need to perform a practical assessment.

    In this assessment, they will be required to perform various manoeuvres safely in order to pass.

    The test will determine if your employees are competent in driving forklifts after training has been provided, and once they have successfully completed the assessment, we will provide them with certification to prove the qualifications they have earned.
