Forklift Truck Training
We provide comprehensive forklift truck training for all major equipment types including counterbalance, reach trucks, and pedestrian models. Our ITSSAR-accredited courses combine theoretical instruction with practical operation, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. With small group sizes of maximum three trainees, we deliver focused training that achieves 98% pass rates while prioritising workplace safety.
Manual Handling Courses
Our manual handling programmes address workplace safety compliance through practical instruction on lifting techniques and risk reduction strategies. Delivered on client premises, these two-hour sessions cover legal requirements, ergonomic principles, and injury prevention methods. The training incorporates both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice to reduce workplace accidents and ensure compliance with current regulations.
On-Site Training
We deliver training at client premises using their own equipment, minimising operational disruption while maximising practical relevance. This approach allows trainees to learn on familiar machinery in their working environment, enhancing knowledge retention and immediate application of safety protocols. Our instructors adapt training programmes to suit specific workplace requirements and equipment configurations.
Refresher Training
Our refresher courses maintain operator competency and certification validity through targeted skill reinforcement. Designed for experienced personnel requiring updated accreditation, these sessions focus on technique refinement, regulatory updates, and safety protocol reinforcement. The training ensures continued compliance with industry standards while addressing any developing operational challenges.
Group Training
We specialise in training multiple employees simultaneously while maintaining quality standards. Our small group approach (maximum three trainees for FLT, eight for manual handling) ensures individual attention while delivering cost-effective solutions for organisational training needs. This method balances efficiency with thorough instruction to maintain high safety and competency levels across workforces.
