All training courses for Forklift Operator Training are tailored to the needs of your staff whether they are new to operating fork lift trucks or just need to learn to operate another type of fork lift truck.
Novice Training
Novice Training. For someone completely new to operating a forklift, these courses last 3-5 days and will cover the elements of pre-use checks, basic truck controls, handling a variety of loads and a theoretical and practical test.
Conversion Training
This type of training is required for existing operators who have previously completed a Novice Training course and are now required to operate a Forklift within a different Truck Category. Typically this type of training is delivered over a 1-2 day period and focuses on the key differences between the various categories of Forklift Trucks.
Refresher Training
The safe use of lift trucks in the workplace guidance states that refresher training should be completed every 3-5 years. In some circumstances an operator may require refresher training within this timescale if they have had an incident or have been absent for a long period and require a recap of their skills.
Familiarisation Training
A familiarisation session would be suitable for an experienced forklift operator who moves to a new site or changes to a new model within the same forklift category (e.g. from a counterbalance to a reach forklift). The course duration for a familiarisation session is typically a few hours and will cover site specific rules, racking layout and any specific features of the new forklift.
