ITSSAR Accredited Courses

Novice Operator Course
Duration: 3/5 Days dependent on Instructor to Trainee ratio
 
This course is designed for the person with little or no experience of lift truck operation. The candidate receives tuition in safe operating techniques, which includes closely supervised practice in simulated but realistic working areas. The theory of lift truck operation is amply covered by lectures and training films. At the end of the course the trainee will take both a written and practical test and successful operators will be issued with a certificate of basic training.

Experienced Operator Course
Duration: 2/3 Days 
 
Designed specifically for the experienced operator who has not had the benefit of formal training or when corrective tuition is required.

The course timetable allows the operator ample time to develop and improve operating skills under supervision, whilst providing the necessary theoretical knowledge of safe working practices and relevant legislation through classroom sessions supported by training films. At the end of the course the trainee will take both a written and practical test and successful operators will be issued with a certificate of basic training.

Refresher & Re-Test
Duration: 1 Day
 
It is a recommendation of the Health and Safety Executives Approved Code of Practice that experienced certificated operators periodically attend a course of refresher training. It is generally recognised within the industry that refresher training should be undertaken every 3 years. The course we offer is a 1 day training period which consists of theory to update on new legislation and operating standards, remedial training and final theoretical and practical test.

There are two elements to each course:

Theory and Practice - The theoretical side of the training is delivered via instructor led DVD’s, presentations and slide shows, training rooms are fully equipped with modern visual aids. Each course has well designed information sheets which are kept by each trainee for future reference.

This is followed by 'hands-on' experience utilising relevant machines using our purpose built outdoor training area.  Trainees will learn to drive in a safe yet ‘real life’ environment. Manuals, safety codes and protective clothing are provided.
