Become A Forklift Instructor

We offer ITTSAR Instructor training course at our training centre in Birmingham. We use all the best training techniques on the latest equipment to assist trainee development. Our highly trained forklift training instructors have over 20 years of experience in training candidates through out the country with an unbeatable success rate.

Our Instructor training enables companies to have qualified Forklift Instructors to reduce costs such as outsourcing training. On completion, they are able to instruct and examine operators on company premises. Also, it could be an opportunity for an individual to embark upon a rewarding career as a recognised ITSSAR instructor. The course complies with the approved code of practice issued by the Health & Safety Executive.

With the course we offer, an experienced forklift operator can train to become an ITSSAR Accredited Forklift Instructor and examiner between 10 to 12 days.

Instructor Courses

We aspire to educate our trainees and not just give instructions, because we know that their knowledge will either help a company achieve success or become the cause of their losses. This training program enables already certified operators to become certified instructors. Companies save outsourcing costs by getting their in-house operators certified as instructors who train and examine the rest of the operators on the factory grounds.

Our course enables a certified forklift operator to train and become an ITSSAR proficient Forklift Instructor within 10 to 12 days.
