Training And Accreditation

Our courses combine practical training and essential operating knowledge to help prevent workplace accidents and build confident, competent operators.

You’ll train with an experienced team of forklift operators and trainers. ITSSAR accredited certification can be recognised by multiple employers, unlike in-house training that applies only to the employer providing it.

Whatever you operate or plan to operate, we can help you find the right training.

Who Is The Training For?

Choose the training that matches your team's experience.

Novice Training

For people with no previous forklift experience. These longer courses cover pre-use checks, safe operation and the practical skills needed to operate the truck.

Experienced, Untrained

For operators with practical experience who have not received formal training or cannot provide evidence of certification.

Refresher Training

For previously trained operators who need to refresh their skills. These courses are usually shorter, with employers deciding when refresher training is needed.

Conversion Training

For experienced operators moving to a different type of forklift. Training builds on existing skills, with the duration depending on the differences between trucks.

Forklift Truck Training FAQs

Describing the certification as a license would be a misnomer. However, every employer has a responsibility to ensure that employees have adequate training for any work equipment they are to use. Therefore, all accredited certificates are registered or held within one of the four Accredited Bodies' national databases.

It is up to the employer to ensure that individuals are adequately trained. This can be done internally on-site; however, some written acknowledgment of this training must be given accompanied by details of what has been undertaken.

There is no formal or set time or circumstance, which means that an employee must undergo refresher training. The employer should outline it on what grounds refresher training is taken; this often includes having a set time between training and refreshers. 

However, it is also reasonable for it to be instructed reactively to circumstances or a combination of both. This decision can come to employers from legal advice or risk assessment advice, often meaning the shorter period advised is used to help ensure the health and safety of all involved. Notably, refresher training cannot be undergone without proof of prior training for the same category of forklift trucks.

Potentially, the deciding factor is whether the training granted an "Accredited" certificate or not. Accredited certificates are transferrable between employers as long as the new employer is happy that the training has taken place recently enough. Notably, having an accredited certificate will still only apply to the relevant category of forklift trucks. 

All accrediting bodies dealing with forklift truck training will utilise a database to some degree, as such methods to verify certificates exist to help prevent the circulation of fraudulent certificates. Consequently, if an employer gave in-house training without being backed by an accrediting body, then that will not apply to a new employer, and training must be taken regardless of experience.
