First Choice Forklift Training Ltd come to YOU

Due to Refresher Courses and F Endorsement Courses taking far less than a day in duration it is more cost effective if we come to you.....that way your employees are ready to return to work as soon as the course is completed.

Secondly, it is logical that the employees are taught in a workplace and on a forklift that they are familiar with.  This way they can ask questions specific to their situation and the instructor can advise drivers and management on cost effective alternatives (if any) that may be suitable for their company.

Lastly, we do not take your forklift out of production for the entire time of the course.  Both Refresher and Beginner Courses theory is approximately 4 hours in duration.  For Refresher Courses the practical driving is approximately 15 minutes per person.  Whilst the student is carrying out their practical assessment we can adjust the assessment to include the normal forklift duties - for example if a truck comes in we can unload it, rather than make it wait.  This scenario is the same for Beginner Drivers but naturally we will need time learning the machine before we can get the driver doing day to day forklift activities to avoid product damage.  However due to the Beginners Course generally taking 7-8 hours the first part of the students training falls around lunchtime when most company forklifts tend to not be in urgent use.
