Lift Truck Assessor Training

This course provides candidates with the necessary skills to assess and report on the quality of material handling equipment (MHE) operators prior to employing/authorising them to work. The Lift Truck Assessor course prepares candidates to carry out assessments, it does not prepare them to deliver remedial training. If this is required for your business, the Lift Truck Instructor course would be the most appropriate course, as this covers assessing and instructing.
