Licence To Operate A Forklift Truck OR Licence To Operate An Order Picking Forklift Truck

Almost every factory has a forklift these days and as such there is a growing demand for forklift operators. So if you are looking to start or advance your career in a factory or warehouse, a forklift course may be helpful in improving your prospects.

Our Forklift courses are carefully designed to help candidates at all levels including those with little or no prior knowledge about forklifts. The forklift courses are  run over two or three days.

Go Workplace Training has a number of Forklifts available, so that sufficient time is allowed for both theory and practical training as well as your forklift licence assessment.

We sometimes mix experienced students with beginners which allows the beginners to have more time on the Forklift and watch and learn from each other as well as your trainer.
