Course title:
Forklift truck Basic Novice Operator Course.
Course objectives:
To teach the basic skill requirements and associated job safety knowledge to operators of industrial Forklift trucks.
Who should attend this course:
Delegates with no previous or limited experience on the machine type in question.
Course duration:
This course is typically between 3 and 5 days dependent on the number of trainees attending the course. ITSSAR accredited courses for lift trucks are strictly a maximum of 3 delegates to one instructor on one machine to ensure the training meets the Approved Code of Practice L117.
Machine types experienced training is delivered on include:
Counter balance, reach, side loaders, multi directional (e.g. combi lifts), telescopic handlers, narrow aisle, articulated pivot steer (e.g. bendi), rough terrain, transportable (e.g. moffet mounty).
Novice operator courses are also available on pedestrian operated lift trucks that have shorter durations and we will be only too pleased to help with course timings on these types of machines.
