Training for the Road Transport Industry
On-site Forklift Training
Our on-site forklift training works around you and the day to day running of your business. On-Site training is commonly requested by our customers as it can be beneficial, because the equipment they train on will be the equipment that they will be using and we can train to cater for their particular environment.
Furthermore there is less expense by having the Instructor come to you as opposed to sending staff away for some time, accommodation and travelling costs etc. We will need facilities to do class room lessons and a designated ‘off the job’ space to do the practical training
