Expert Training Courses for Every Operator
We provide Telehandler operator training that supports the experience levels of every worker within your business:
Novice Training Courses for new recruits without any experience, covering everything to operate a Telehandler confidently and safely, including full compliance with legislation.
Novice-Plus Training Courses for those with some Telehandler operating experience looking for practical, hands-on training to develop their operator skills and achieve accredited certification.
Refresher Training Courses should be taken every 3 years to keep your operators compliant with all the latest equipment and technology they may encounter in their working environment.
Conversion Training Courses for experienced operators who need certification on a different type of machine, such as moving from a Rough Terrain Forklift Truck to a Telehandler.
Telehandler Training Course Overview
The operator training combines classroom-based learning with practical, hands-on instruction covering starting procedures, manoeuvring, load handling, and material stacking. As industry specialists, we can tailor each course to suit the specific operational requirements of your organisation.
Basic training provides the fundamental skills and knowledge needed to operate a Telehandler safely and efficiently.
Specific job training focuses on the knowledge and understanding of the operating principles and controls of the forklift truck to be used, as well as how it will be operated within the scope of the operator’s specific workplace.
Familiarisation training involves applying the skills and knowledge gained during Basic and Specific training in real-life working conditions. It must take place on the job, under close supervision, to ensure safe and competent operation.
Each training course concludes with a practical skills assessment and theory test. Upon successful completion you’ll receive a recognised Certification confirming your ability to operate safely, efficiently, and to approved industry standards.
Training at Your Premises or the Budget Training Centre
Budget Forktrucks recommends delivering telehandler operator training at your premises, allowing operators to train on the exact equipment they use while enabling our instructors to tailor the course to your specific operations and safety requirements.
The Budget Training Centre provides fully equipped, off-site facilities ideal for new operators without machine access, one-to-one instruction, refresher or conversion training, or businesses without sufficient on-site space. Limitations will apply in relation to the extent of uneven terrain available to operate on, and the availability of specific telehandlers in our hire fleet.
