Forklift Training
Newcroft provides both RTITB accredited and non-accredited ‘in-house’ forklift training. Our experienced, RTITB accredited trainers have operated various forklift trucks for years. Novices can complete their training in 3-5 days, while refresher courses only take 1-2 days. We also offer non-accredited ‘in-house’ training for employers keen on ensuring their staff can safely operate forklifts. Feel free to get in touch with us today to talk about your forklift training requirements and reserve your course.

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.
The Counterbalance forklift is incredibly versatile, suitable for both indoor and outdoor loading and unloading tasks.
Reach forklifts, on the other hand, are designed exclusively for indoor use, primarily within warehouse settings.
Telehandlers, also known as Rough Terrain Telescopic Handlers, find their main purpose outdoors, commonly on construction sites, although they can be used indoors too.
Vehicle Mounted Lift Trucks are affixed to the rear of HGVs and step in when a forklift is needed for loading and unloading at sites where one isn’t readily available.
No. If you hold a Counterbalance basic training certificate, you’re eligible for Conversion training on any other forklift type. Conversion training is shorter, typically spanning 1-2 days, compared to novice training, which extends to 3-5 days.
No. The training you underwent at your previous company falls under the category of ‘in-house’ training. As long as you have evidence like a certificate, you only need to complete an Experienced course. This option shortens the training duration by 1 day in comparison to a full Novice course
To maintain your RTITB registration, you must undergo Refresher training, which takes no more than 1 day.
If your RTITB registration has lapsed, you can allow it to expire for up to a year and still qualify for Refresher training to re-register. However, if your registration has been expired for over 1 year, you’ll need to complete Experienced training to re-register with RTITB.
