Sally Harris Manager 1st Self Access Storage
After the training course it was totally new experience. It was wonderful being aware of all the negative aspects of driving a forklift Thank you!
Jhon Stafford Manager Pallet Racking Systems Ltd
Before the training my drivers were not confident I felt the number of accidents was increasing and that things were just going down hill.
Afterwards, my drivers feel eased and relaxed and I see the number of accidents is reduced. Also they always concentrate on the negative side of driving.
They feel much better now. And their confidence is growing as they progress. Thank you for your time and effort RS Forklifts Training Ltd

Great course completed my Counterbalance and Reach truck with the help of Jewels and Qasim both were fantastic and very friendly. The price was the the best in Birmingham. Highly recommended.
Training was very efficient and detailed. The instructor would give detailed instructions and we got a lot of theory in the classroom with plenty of practice, in small groups so we each got a good amount of time on the trucks. The practical training was progressive, starting with detailed step-by-step instructions, then basic goals, and finally being left to put it in to practice ourselves.
Enjoyed the atmosphere the training & Instructors were fabulous they were very helpful and patient throughout the course. No Stress goals easily achieved also very good on prices. And Management are very supportive if your struggling.
