WTSD has been conducting a series of forklift courses for the Mid North Coast participants over the past two years. Feedback has been very encouraging and matches the success rate of participants
Day One
The first half-day covers forklift theory, PowerPoint presentations and videos covering all aspects of the forklift truck and safe operating procedures. Participants are given a 40 page-training manual which includes the National Assessment Instrument.
The afternoon consists of participants being introduced to the practical aspects of forklift operation, pre-operational checks and parking procedures. This session is conducted at our external facility. Location details will be provided in the morning.
Day Two
Participants are given a series of exercises to complete such as picking and placing pallets, navigating obstacles, reversing and driving.
A BBQ lunch is provided before participants are run through what will be expected of them when they undertake their assessment. Participants are observed and assessed to meet the competencies.
After a debrief, participants receive a Certificate of Attendance, complete an evaluation form and have their assessments booked. Usually for the following week to allow for further study of the written/oral assessments.
The Assessment
An Assessor that is totally independent to the Trainer, to meet legislative requirements, must conduct assessments, the accredited Assessor we use charges $165 per test
Participants who successfully complete the test are issued with a provisional licence, which is valid for 60 days.
Workcover NSW
Within 30 days, this provisional licence must be presented to Workcover where a Certificate of Competency in Forklift Operations card will be issued at a further cost of $65
The Qualification
A Certificate of Competency in Forklift Operations is handy qualification for potential job seekers. It is portable across all industry groups and is a must for people with truck licences.
