Day 1 consists of an introduction to the theory of forklift operation and familiarisation with forklift terminology and common safety practices in the workplace. Following the classroom time, students will be introduced to the particulars of the forklift and undergo basic maneuvering in our practical training area and picking up and placing loads at various heights. Students are given a revision test and resource for home study.

Day 2 Is a streamlined revision of the critical theory areas and an opportunity for beginners to discuss any areas of difficulty with the trainer. The practical session provides further time for beginner’s to gain confidence and experienced operators to get familiar with our forklift and simulated workplace tasks.

Day 3 is Assessment day. Students must arrive by the exam time or assessment will not be possible. The day begins with a closed-book theory exam, followed by marking and clarification with the Assessor.

At the conclusion of the theory exams students will each take the practical exam individually, if they have passed all theory components.
