You Can Enrol on a Forklift Licence Course in Melbourne

Being able to safely operate a forklift truck is one of the most vital skills to have on any construction site, and in Australia, you require official certification from WorkSafe before you can legally do so. If you are currently researching the best ways to get your forklift licence in Melbourne, be sure not to be fooled by some of the unofficial, online courses that you may find on offer at extremely low prices. Only a fully approved Registered Training Organisation (RTO) can provide you with the certification you require to obtain an official licence and gain the right to legally operate forklifts on construction sites across the country.

Fortunately, with the help of the right training provider, you can be entirely confident that the whole process of gaining the necessary certification to operate a forklift can be easy, fun and affordable – so before you know it, you can be adding forklift operations to your existing list of skills.

Why Should You Choose CTG For Forklift Training in Melbourne?

For almost twenty years, the team here at Construction Training Group have been committed to the highest possible standards of quality and service when it comes to meeting the training needs of local construction businesses and professionals in the Melbourne area. Over the years, we have worked with small businesses and large corporations alike to provide the forklift licence courses Melbourne companies need to ensure their staff have all the necessary skills and documents required to perform their jobs safely and legally.

We offer two separate forklift courses: one designed for those with some existing experience of operating forklifts, and one especially created for people with no previous experience whatsoever. To be accepted into the first course, which is two days long, you will need to be able to demonstrate that you have conducted a minimum of 40 hours of forklift operation time under supervision within the last six months. For the beginners’ course, which is three days long, you need only to prove that you are over 18 years of age and have completed some pre-course preparatory study.

During your course, you will be taught using a variety of different methods to stimulate and facilitate learning. And when the time comes for you to be assessed, there will be a range of assessment types all of which will be outlined in detail on the first day of your course. If for whatever reason you are not deemed sufficiently competent by the end of your course, you can simply opt to pay a re-assessment fee and sit a re-assessment within 60 days.
