I work in a yard loading & unloading trucks using a HIAB. Do I need and ALLMI license?

No you don’t. Only ‘In-house’ training is required to operate a HIAB inside an employers yard. If you change employers or use a HIAB outside of the yard then although it is not a legal requirement, it is advisable to obtain an ALLMI license as it is an indication that you have received recognised training.

I don't have an ALLMI license but have operated a HIAB for an ex employer. Do I need to complete Novice training to get an ALLMI license?

No you don’t.
Providing you have evidence of previous experience of operating a HIAB, you will only need to complete Experienced training.
