We provide RTITB accredited forklift training services for businesses across the East Midlands.
Whether it's Reach or Counterbalance training, our expert team trains from novice level to experienced, conversion or refresher. What's more, our 100% pass rate gives you full reassurance that you're in safe hands.
Please note that our forklift courses are available to businesses only that need to train and certify their employees as Forklift Operators.
WHO ARE OUR COURSES FOR?
The novice courses are designed for operators with little to no previous experience and are RTITB-accredited to comply with the standards set in accordance with the HSE Code of Practice L117.
We are also able to provide refresher and conversion training, and certification for experienced drivers, for both Counterbalance and Reach Forklift Trucks.
If your organisation is looking to provide forklift training to your workforce, then we can offer a bespoke service tailored to your requirements including non-accredited and in-house options. Contact us on 01636 611320 or email claire.haggar@ambitionspersonnel.com for more details.
The cost and duration of the course will depend on the number of staff you need training. Please contact our Training Division on 01636 611320 for a quote.
