This 1-day course is for individuals with previous forklift driving experience (in Australia or overseas), but who do not hold a Nationally Recognised LF Class Forklift Licence. Your previous forklift experience should mean that you are confident in loading and unloading a truck trailer, retrieving pallets from heights and driving through an obstacle course. People without the necessary experience will need to complete a two day beginners course.

This one day course covers both the theory and practical assessment for the license only. As it is aimed at experienced drivers, you should note that there will be no “training” provided as part of this course.

The course is conducted in our Northbridge training centre, walking distance from both Perth and McIver train stations.

The course will cover:

• Duty of Care
• Practical forklift operation
• Practical forklift driving
• OH&S Legislation in WA
• Site risk assessment
• Australian Standards
• Forklift awareness
• Lifting pallets
• Lifting up to 650kg
• Stacking racks
• Obstacle course
• Pre-starting safety checks
