This HRW Forklift Training Course is based on the National High Risk Unit of Competence TLILIC0003: Licence to operate a forklift truck.

A forklift truck means a powered industrial truck equipped with lifting media made up of a mast and an elevating load carriage to which is attached a pair of form arms or other attachments that can be raised 900mm or more above the ground, but does not include a pedestrian-operated truck or a pallet truck. This can also include trucks on which the operator is raised with the attachment for order picking.

A person performing this work is required to hold a forklift truck High Risk Work Licence (HRWL).

This Beginner Forklift Training day is designed for students who have never been on a forklift before and require intensive training on the use and handling of a forklift truck before undertaking the licencing component of the TLILIC0003 – Licence to operate a forklift truck course.
