Who is the course designed for?
Generally, this course is usually offered for existing forklift operators requiring up-grading of the skills and knowledge required to operate a forklift with specialised attachments or all-terrain equipment, including checking attachments and worksite for suitability, selecting the type of forklift and accessories for required load shifting tasks, and shifting load and completing work in accordance with operational requirements.
01. Course requirements
Due to the duration of this course participants must already be working within industry.
This equipment requires a High Risk Work Licence which will be a required pre-requisite (LF class HRW
Licence). This course does not provide the High Risk Work licence and is generally used as a refresher
training. Student therefore must be qualified and experienced to enter this course.

advice. The contact phone number for SafeWork NSW is 131050.

02. What does the course offer?
The program has been organised to provide students with general skills, background information and specific
knowledge about operating more specialised type forklift and/or their load handling attachments, which is
then applied in discussion, questioning, role-plays and practical application for the industry specific unit.
The program is delivered ‘on-the-job’ at the client’s premises. Training delivery combines face-to-face trainer led theory classes and practical sessions. In most cases there will be no more than 8 students in any class.
Students are provided with all required course material including a training manual that covers all parts of the
course. Additional material will be made available during training sessions if required.

progress throughout the training and assessment process.
