Training, Assessment and Certification Process
Start by enrolling in our face-to-face Forklift Licence training at one of our NSW or QLD venues. This practical course equips you with the essential skills and knowledge to safely operate a forklift in accordance with Australian WHS regulations and industry best practices.
Upon successfully completing your training and assessment, your assessor will issue a Statement of Attainment for TLILIC0003 – Licence to operate a forklift truck. This allows you to apply to your local Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulator for your High Risk Work Licence (Forklift).
Once your application is submitted, your High Risk Work Licence (Forklift) will be processed and issued by the relevant state authority — usually within a few weeks.
Our trainers are committed to your success. At all NSW and QLD training locations, they provide practical, hands-on instruction — and will stay after sessions to offer extra support if you need help with any part of the forklift course.
