The practical assessment is done only on the equipment the trainee is authorised to drive, and once deemed competent, each unit assessed on is listed on the trainees certificate.

Duration of the course may vary depending on class size with a maximum class size of 10 trainees per course. The theory part of the course takes approx 4½ hours, the practical driving test approx 15-20 mins per person per machine, and a summary of approx ½ hour.

Only competent drivers are issued with a certificate.

Our DOL (OSH) approved certificates include a standard size Certificate, as well as a Personal ID Licence Card. (Includes photo ID on both certificates) In the event your company obtains a different forklift, we would come on site to assess your staff for competency then add the new forklift to their Current NFT Certificates free of charge.

Certificates must be renewed every three years.Our courses have the complete backing of Competenz and exceeds the New Zealand Department of Labour requirements.

Additional equipment may be added to any current National Forklift Training certificate at any stage within the 3 year period.  A practical assessment on that equipment would be required in order for this equipment to be added.

Please Note:  We run our “standard” course for both renewals and new (but experienced) operators, however we do offer a reduced rate for renewals of our National Forklift Training certificates)
