Course Introduction

Overview of the Forklift Instructor Course

Procom Training’s Forklift Instructor Training Course provides candidates with the skills necessary to prepare and examine operators for the working environments of forklift trucks. Candidates will understand and practice the required instructor skills in accordance with agreed best practice.

The Course concludes with an objective examination carried out by an RTITB examiner. All elements of the examination must be passed to successfully qualify as an RTITB instructor. Achieving an RTITB instructor qualification is something to be truly proud of. Successful candidates are eligible to register on the RTITB Register of Professional Instructors.
