Got any questions about operator training?
Do all operators need forklift training?
Forklift training is mandatory by law in the UK. At the end of our training, after succeeding in the final exam, candidates can receive a certificate of completion.
What forklift training does my business need?
The right training depends on your operators’ experience and the equipment used.
Most businesses require a mix of:
• Novice training (for new operators)
• Refresher training (to maintain standards)
• Conversion training (for new truck types)
If you’re unsure, training can be tailored to your operational setup and workforce needs.
