Would you like to learn a new skill for 2019?

Then join our forklift novice course w/c 11^th February 2019

If you’re thinking of learning a new skill, why not become a forklift driver which will enable you to work in a variety of companies.

Forklift drivers can work at any site that has goods going in and out. This could be a warehouse, a storage facility, a factory, a construction site, an airport or docks.

Your day-to-day tasks may include:

• checking equipment daily and using it safely
• loading and unloading goods from lorries, ships or aircraft
• using radio frequency equipment to keep in touch with other staff
• manually handling goods when necessary
• stacking goods and moving them around in storage bays
• picking and packing orders
• completing paperwork for delivery notes and stock control
• moving loads in and out of industrial racking

With the increase in warehousing, there is a constant demand for forklift drivers.  You can learn to drive a forklift truck in just a week and our next course is running on w/c 11^th February at our training centre at Wroxton, near Banbury.
