A forklift training course teaches you how to operate a forklift safely so that you are fully aware of the risks and dangers involved with their operation. By law, all forklift operators must undergo this training in order to be certified to operate a lift truck or forklift machine in a warehouse.
A forklift certificate shows that an operator has been trained to a relevant standard and evaluated by assessors as competent to operate a forklift for a specific application.
The process of becoming certified involves formal instruction (such as a lecture, online course or video), written materials and other information as well as hands-on training that involves actually operating the forklift. Practical training in operating the forklift is usually provided in a warehouse location and is undertake by staff that have the required knowledge, experience and credentials to teach forklift operation.
