How much Forklift Training do I require?
My forklift training starts with approximately 2 days including assessment with small groups. From this point I can gauge the amount of training required for each student as a rule the theory is often harder than the Practical. This is a closed book written assessment on your knowledge with approx. 60 questions and some maths, a verbal assessment can be offered
For persons that have held an expired LF licence or been operating a forklift for years with good communication skills and can retain new information you may be able to complete the course in 1 to 2 days.
For persons that have worked within a forklift working environment and reminded of safety rules with good communication skills (read/ writing / understanding) and have had some experience with forklifts, remember verbal assessment offered can be completed in 2 days with some home study.
Persons with no car experience or with learning issues, understanding English may require from 3 to 5 days sometimes exceeding this timeframe.
Additional Information
Note: All High Risk Work (HRW) assessments must be completed in English written or verbal and comply with the conditions set out by Safework NSW
Note: the price includes up to 5 days of training with one assessment.
Note: All students will require a Unique Student Identifier Number USI
From 1 January 2015 if you are undertaking nationally recognised training delivered by a registered training organisation you will need to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). This includes studying at TAFE or with a private training organisation, completing an apprenticeship or skill set, certificate or diploma course.
A USI gives you access to your online USI account which is made up of ten numbers and letters. It will look something like this: 3AW88YH9U5.
A USI account will contain all your nationally recognised training records and results from 1 January 2015 onwards. Your results from 2015 will be available in your USI account in 2016.
When applying for a job or enrolling in further study, you will often need to provide your training records and results. One of the main benefits of the USI is that you will have easy access to your training records and results throughout your life.
You can access your USI account online from a computer, tablet or smart phone anywhere and anytime. To apply http://www.usi.gov.au
