Operating a forklift requires the driver to pay careful attention to their surroundings and the job at hand. While we seek to make our courses accessible, it is crucial that every operator has a sound working knowledge of how to operate their forklift safely. MultiSkills Training have forklift courses available at our Geelong or Werribee locations. Our trainers are subject matter experts who are there to provide the quality training required to achieve competency.

The forklift operators’ course that we run at MultiSkills Training sees students undertaking two days of practical and theoretical training and a final assessment. The course will cover all the basics of operating a forklift at a worksite. If you’re successful, you’ll come out with the necessary certifications to drive and operate a forklift.

A forklift licence is a WorkSafe requirement for anyone wanting to operate a forklift in industries such as civil & building construction, manufacturing, logistics and warehousing.

MultiSkills Training has licenced thousands of new forklift drivers, providing them with the essential skills they need to operate a forklift, including pre-start checks and applying and conducting risk and hazard assessment strategies. We go further than simply teaching you how to operate the forklift, providing you the skills and knowledge needed to get your job done while protecting yourself, your future co-workers and the company’s assets.

Key to this is understanding the workplace health and safety regulations that forklift drivers must abide by. We ensure that in addition to knowing how to effectively and safely use a forklift, all students attending our forklift training courses learn how to be compliant with national and state/territory workplace regulations.
