AITT & ITSSAR accredited qualification
For companies with a large number of forklift operators, it can make sense to have your own lift truck trainer in house.
This course will equip trainees to develop their own lift truck training courses, and instruct potential operators in how to use forklifts in a safe and efficient way – to the standards set out by AITT, ITSSAR and the Health & Safety Executive’s Approved Code of Practice (L117).
