INTRODUCTION TO LIFT TRUCK OPERATOR TRAINING:
Thank you for your enquiry regarding Lift Truck Operator Training, which you can attend at our training centres in Bridgend, Mid Glamorgan.
Our Lift Truck training fee is £95.00 plus VAT (£114.00) per day.
Whatever type of Lift Truck Operator Certificate is required (Counterbalanced or Reach, or both) the length of the course will depend on previous experience (if any).
Since 3rd April 2006, all operator training carried out under the RTITB Scheme will be logged onto a National Register. The fee for this registration is £10.00 plus VAT (£12.00) per person, per truck category.
Candidates who have no driving experience of any kind, must attend a minimum of 5 days training on one truck type.
Please refer to the guide before booking your course.
Courses are normally arranged two or three weeks ahead but short-notice bookings are often arranged for customers with urgent training needs.
ACCREDITED TRAINING – NATIONALLY RECOGNISED CERTIFICATION
The HSE Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) recommendation is that all lift truck operators receive ‘adequate training’ and this is also evident in the 1998 PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment) Regulations.
We are a training provider whose training is accredited by RTITB Limited who are one of the five bodies recognised by the Health & Safety Commission as competent to accredit and monitor organisations to train Instructors, and to train, test and certificate operators.
In order for us to issue accredited certification we must show a minimum training period of 20 hours (3 days) training for experienced, but previously un-certificated operators.
Our training fees are based on a maximum 3:1:1 ratio
