Course Description
This Telehandler forklift training course is delivered on-site at your workplace. The training begins with a health and safety presentation delivered via laptop, followed by an instructional video. It then moves on to practical exercises and a final assessment. Ideally, a room is needed for the theory portion, along with some empty pallets for the practical training, but we can adapt to the space available.
On successful completion, participants will receive a training certificate (license) valid for five years. This certification complies with UK legal requirements and satisfies insurance standards.
