On-Site Training at Your Merthyr Location

Our on-site forklift training service extends throughout Merthyr Tydfil and nearby areas, including Aberdare, Bargoed, Blackwood, and Ebbw Vale. By bringing our training directly to your site, your staff can learn without interrupting your daily operations.

We are dedicated to delivering effective training solutions that instil confidence as you work towards obtaining your forklift licence. To facilitate on-site training at your Merthyr premises, you’ll need to ensure the following:

  • A machine in good working condition for the course duration
  • A suitable area for operators to use the machine, complete with pallets or loads for transport and stacking
  • A designated space for theory sessions and paperwork completion

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

With an excellent pass rate, we offer a comprehensive range of forklift training courses in Merthyr, covering all types of forklifts.
