Course detailsHow it works
Three levels, one certificate
The Approved Code of Practice L117 breaks operator training into three stages. Our courses cover the first and support you with the other two.
- Basic training. The skills and knowledge needed to operate the truck type safely, assessed by theory and practical tests. This is what the certificate confirms.
- Specific job training. The particular truck, attachments, loads and site layout the operator will work with. We tailor this when we train on your premises.
- Familiarisation. Supervised time on the job applying what has been learned in the real working environment.
