Machine maintenance
Site inspection

Assessment methods

The assessment will normally take place within 14 days of the training and covers the associated differences between use, operation and maintenance of the machine, pre-use maintenance and safety checks, recognition of controls and instruments. You will take a practical test where the forklift is driven around a suitable course and the operator will be required to move and stack various loads. The test will also include one to one verbal questioning.
