Budget Forktrucks proudly offers two ranges of comprehensive operator training courses, designed to equip your workforce with the technical knowledge and practical skills required to operate safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with UK health and safety requirements.

AITT accredited training is delivered in accordance with recognised national standards and is subject to external oversight and regulated quality assurance protocols administered by the Association of Industrial Truck Trainers (AITT). This provides greater assurance to organisations that operators have been assessed in accordance with accepted industry requirements. Successful candidates receive an AITT accredited operator certificate and photo ID card, recorded on a centralised database making them easily transferable between employers within the UK.

In-house certified training follows comprehensive content defined in the Health and Safety Executive’s Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) L117. This provides greater flexibility to tailor courses to site-specific equipment, operating environments, and workplace procedures. As external verification and course durations are not mandated, courses can be delivered more cost-effectively. Final assessment is equally rigorous, but the certificates rest with the organisation – and not the operator.

Unify AITT and In-house training across your organisation. With Budget, you can choose to specify AITT accredited novice training courses for employees with no prior experience – and then specify in-house certified training for refresher training courses after 3 years of experience.

Choosing between the ranges depends on your organisation’s specific requirements and priorities. Our team of expert instructors are fully certified by both the AITT and the Road Transport Industry Training Board (RTITB).
