Forklift Operator Training

Practical, compliant forklift training for teams across London, Essex, Kent, and the South East.

On your own site or at our local training school.

What we do

We deliver certified forklift operator training for businesses of all sizes. Courses are available on-site at your premises or at our own training school in Essex. We keep things simple, practical and relevant to the real world your operators work in.

We train:

Novices who are completely new to lift trucks
Experienced operators who need a refresher
Operators moving to a different truck type (conversion training)

Our instructors know their stuff and understand busy sites. The goal is always the same: safer operators, fewer incidents, less damage and more confidence on the job.

Courses we offer

We can tailor courses to the equipment you use every day, such as:

Counterbalance forklift trucks
Reach trucks
Power pallet trucks
Stackers
Order pickers

Training covers the key essentials: pre-use checks, safe manoeuvring, stability, stacking and de-stacking, load handling, working in confined areas, and site-specific risks.

If you run Mitsubishi forklifts, great — we know them inside out. If you don’t, that’s fine too. We train on all makes and models.

On-site or at our training centre

On-site training
We come to you. Operators learn on the trucks, loads, and layouts they actually work with. That means faster learning and less disruption.

At our Essex training school
Ideal if you don’t have space, time, or spare equipment on-site. We provide everything needed for practical and theory training.

Novice, refresher and conversion training

Novice training
For operators with little or no previous experience. We take them from the basics through to safe, competent operation with full assessment and certification on completion.

Refresher training
For experienced operators who need to update their skills and prove competence. Shorter, focused and efficient.

Conversion training
For qualified operators moving to a different truck type. We focus on the key differences, controls, risks and handling techniques.
