Although the terms ‘forklift licence’ or ‘forklift ticket’ are commonly used by operators, employers, and recruitment agencies, there really is no such thing as a forklift operator’s licence.

When people say ‘forklift licence’, what they are referring to is a Certificate of Basic Training.

Whether you require novice or experienced forklift training, you can trust the team of accredited training professionals at SB Skills Solutions to help you advance your career and increase your earning potential.

What does the forklift training course involve?

The forklift training course (also referred to as FLT training) teaches the learners how to operate a forklift safely and how they should carry out various safety checks and procedures on the machine.

The learner has a final assessment which comprises of a theory test followed by a practical test this is all set out by the awarding body.

Candidates of all levels of ability and knowledge can attend our forklift training courses as we deliver full foundation training through to testing only.

Whether you require experienced, refresher, or novice forklift training, our team can help you to choose the most suitable course in line with your experience and industry.

Refresher Training is a requirement and is vital in maintaining operator skill levels and preventing them from slipping into bad habits. Research proves that safe, skilled operators are also the most productive.

There is no fixed deadline, but Refresher Training is normally carried out every 3–5 years but may be required sooner where operators are slipping into bad habits.

Course Duration

The FLT training course length varies depending on the level of experience of the attendee.

Course Content

Novice, experienced, and refresher forklift training is available from SB Skills Solutions – all of which can be tailored to operating:

A 360° excavator is a tracked excavator. It is heavy machinery that is used when there is little or no room for movement around the site. The digger head can be rotated in a full circle, thanks to the use of tracks rather than wheels.
While these vehicles are highly manoeuvrable, their power and heavy parts means that they also have the potential to cause accidents and injuries. It is important as a site owner that you provide a safe working environment.
This includes ensuring that all operators have had full 360 excavator training on the safe use of these and other excavators they will use.

Course Objective

The objective of 360 degrees excavator training is to ensure that operators know how to safely and effectively use the machinery: 360 Excavator – Below 10 tonne & Above 10 tonne. Excavators are large and, by their very nature, they have the potential to cause damage and injury.
Course participants will learn how to safely use the machinery and work towards receiving certification from the appropriate industry body.

The course will teach candidates Health and safety, pre-start checks, controls, dangers, safety on getting on and off and all activities required to be a 360 excavator operator. The 360 excavator training course is both theory and practical based training with a test/assessment.

Course Duration

The 360 excavator/digger course may take between 1-10 days depending on the experience level of the delegate. Typically, these are:

• 10 Day – Novice Course
• 2-5 Day – Experienced Worker Course (for those with no previous certification)
• 1 Day – Experienced Worker Tests / Refresher Course

Participant Requirements

It is essential that all delegates have a good working knowledge of written and verbal English, because the training we offer combines both theory and practical elements.

Who Should Attend?

360 excavators are versatile and useful machines used primarily in construction. The size and power of the machinery means that it has the potential to cause harm to employees, visitors, and other third parties, as well as cause expensive damage. 360 digger training ensures that the operators know how to safely use and maintain the machinery, therefore eliminating potential dangers and hazards.

Excavator training is essential for novices and experienced workers operating 360 excavators and diggers. Whether they use the excavator on a daily basis, or on an occasional basis, they need to know how to do so without putting people at risk. Supervisors and managers can also benefit from 360-degree Excavator training so that they can ensure work is completed in a safe manner.

What Will Participants Learn?

The 360-degree excavator training course in Lancashire includes both theory and practical elements. Delegates will be taught the latest legislation and regulations governing the use of this type of machinery, as well as a general overview of site safety.
They will be taught how to analyse the site and terrain to ensure that they use the proper machinery and attachments, how to operate the digger, and how to complete shutdown of the excavator.

Delegates will also be taught to safely change attachments and will learn how to prepare the excavator for taking it on the public highway.

• Health and safety regulations and legislation before spending time on the machinery
• How to conduct pre-start checks of the 360 machine prior to operating
• How to operate the excavator safely
• Understanding of roles and responsibilities when operating the machinery on site
• Correctly mounting and dismounting the equipment
• Operating the machine on varied ground , i.e. flat, rough and undulated
• Going up and down slopes with correct operating
• Learn how to define a hazard and where they are found i.e. underground apparatus and overhead cables
• Excavations in varied ground types
• Trench work and box excavations
• Grading, levelling & spreading
• Working with other plant when loading them with material and spoil
• Change and operate ancillary equipment and attachments
• Loading materials on various vehicles, hoppers, dumpers and wagons
• Shut down procedures

Training Bodies

We offer training courses accredited by the following training bodies:

CPCS – The Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) is the biggest and most widely recognised body. Some companies require that their operators specifically have a CPCS card before employment. CPCS offers a competence card scheme. Initially, an operator will be awarded a red card. They can work towards receiving a red card within two years of receiving their blue card. We offer A58, A59, A59A and A59B CPCS excavator training at our training sites in Burscough, Ormskirk.

NPORS – The National Plant Operators Registration(NPORS) is a widely recognised card scheme across the Construction, Industrial, Utilities, Warehousing and Distribution, Agricultural, Ports and Marine sectors. The NPORS 360 Excavator – N202 course aims to provide the candidate with a thorough practical and theory training in operating 360 Degree Excavator in order to enable the candidate to pass the NPORS Theory and Practical Tests. Upon passing the tests, the operator will get an NPORS traditional operator card or if they have in date touch screen on completion they can opt in for the New NPORS CSCS logo card.

In-House – Our in-house training course for the 360 excavators follows the same training schedule, however if a client would like a bespoke option i.e with a particular attachment then this can be built into the course. The inhouse is still done by highly qualified NPORS and CPCS instructor is just at the end of the course you will gain a certificate of competency. The certificate is normally used for people who need to cover for insurance, competency and to use on own sites.

How will you be assessed?

First and foremost, you’ll be assessed using the On-Site Assessment and Training (OSAT) method.

Instead of taking a written exam, you’ll be assigned a dedicated cavity wall insulation assessor and tasked with completing a range of relevant cavity wall insulation work in order to create a portfolio of work-based evidence.

This evidence will then be used to secure your qualification.

Examples of work-based evidence includes on-site observation, photographs, health and safety documents such as risk assessments and method statements, and videos of relevant roofing work you’ve completed as well as recorded conversations between yourself and the assessor.

Once enough work-based evidence has been collected, it’ll be submitted for verification and you’ll be able to claim your NVQ qualification.
