Course Options

Plus (3 days):

This is Armstrongs standard forklift course for all students who have little to no prior forklift operating experience.

Armstrongs knows that assessments can be stressful and nerves can sometimes cause students to make simple operating errors.

Express (2 days):

This course is for those students who have prior forklift operating experience under the instruction of (i) someone who holds a forklift licence or (ii) a workplace forklift trainer. Those who select this courses will be assumed to have existing forklift operating skills and knowledge in the areas of pre-start and post-start operational checks, operating a forklift at safe speeds, assessing loads and weights, moving and placing loads, and forklift shut down procedures.

Armstrongs Express forklift courses include only one attempt to to pass your practical operating assessment.
