Counterbalance/Reach Truck Novice Training Courses

Our novice counterbalance/Reach Truck courses are perfect for beginners who wish to learn the basics of forklift operation.

The novice counterbalance/Reach Truck courses can be conducted at our training centre or on-site at customer premises.

We teach all the basic skills that form the foundation for safe forklift operation and future conversion training.

The courses are typically 5-day courses conducted with a maximum of 3 trainees, however courses can be conducted over a shorter duration with fewer trainees for example:

  • 2 Trainees can be trained on a 4-day course
  • 1 Trainee can be trained on a 3-day course

Our courses are accredited by the Independent Training Standards Scheme and Register (ITSSAR), recognised nationally for Counterbalance/Reach Truck Forklift Training.
