We are dedicated to providing effective training solutions that help you confidently obtain your forklift licence. To facilitate our training at your Bridgend premises, you’ll need to provide the following:

  • A designated area for operators to use the machine, including pallets or loads for transport and stacking
  • A suitable space for theory sessions and paperwork completion

Our on-site forklift training accommodates up to 3 trainees per course and can meet RTITB or in-house standards. Our instructors customise the training to your specific needs and are available to travel throughout Bridgend and beyond.

While not mandatory, the HSE recommends refresher training every three years to keep skills sharp and minimise risks. We offer a convenient one-day refresher course in Bridgend to help you maintain compliance efficiently.
