Licence To Operate A Forklift

Forklift driving is classified as high risk work and therefore legislation requires forklift drivers to be assessed for competency and obtain a high risk work licence. This course is delivered by experienced trainers and assessed by SafeWork NSW approved assessors.

This is a 3 Day Course that incorporates completion of both a written and practical assessment and is suitable for both inexperienced and experienced operators.

On completion of the course you will receive an Interim Certificate to take to the Post Office with a Passport Photo. You will be able to drive a Forklift on the Interim Certificate for 60 days until you receive your National Photo Licence.
