Forklift FAQs
There is no such thing as a forklift license. You will receive a RTITB certificate of basic training and an ID card that indicates what type of forklift you can safely operate.
A Counterbalance forklift is the most common as it can be used for loading and unloading purposes both indoors and out.
Reach forklifts are used exclusively indoors mostly in a warehouse environment.
A Telehandler (or Rough Terrain Telescopic Handler) can be used indoors but are mostly seen outdoors especially on building sites.
Vehicle Mounted Lift Trucks are attached to the back of HGVs and are used on sites wherever forklift is unavailable but is required to for loading & unloading
No you don’t.
If you already have a certificate of basic training for a Counterbalance, you can complete Conversion training for any other type of forklift. Conversion training lasts 1-2 days compared to novice training which lasts 3-5 days.
No you don’t.
The training you received at your previous company is classed as ‘in-house’ and providing you have evidence(e.g. certificate) you need only complete an Experienced course. This will reduce the training time by 1 day compared to a full Novice course.
You will need to complete Refresher training in order to remain registered with RTITB. Refresher training lasts a maximum of 1 day. You can let your RTITB registration expire for up to a maximum of 1 year and still only complete Refresher training in order to be re-registered. If you want to re-register with RTITB and your previous registration expired more than 1 year ago then you will need to complete Experienced training.
No you don’t.
We can provide non-accredited / in-house training for your employees. In-house training comes with a certificate of completion.
