Conversion Training

There are so many lift truck vehicles requiring different skills that operators can be forever training; conversion courses help speed things up focusing on the differences rather than repeating the similarities.

With some training courses lasting for days and such a wide variation of lift truck vehicles in use it would be easy for your operators to spend months just getting a basic understanding of everything. Conversion training is designed with practicality in mind, helping operators quickly gain experience on new vehicles by focusing on training them only in the new skills they need to know and not going back over knowledge that already have.

Conversion courses will still check through written and practical tests that candidate’s knowledge is up to date, and conversion courses can always be combined with refresher training if required. On completion of the course students will be fully qualified to operate their required lift truck vehicle at an industry recognised standard.
