Counterbalance Truck Driving
Basic 3 Day Course
DRIVING FOR  Semi-EXPERIENCED OPERATORS.

With no formal  training  but the ability to handle the truck these operators need to appreciate and understand safe working practices with regard to the operation of the truck. The employer also has to be sure of the skill of the employee and then give formal permission, as required by the HSE. This course covers all aspects and brings both the employer and employee up to the highest standards. This is the most popular of our courses. All this is done to the ITSSAR standard of training.
