ABA Categories

In early 2016 the ABA introduced a standardised list of workplace transport equipment categories to aid employers and recruiters in identifying operator qualifications, regardless of issuing body. As a member of the ABA, RTITB have implemented the use of the grouping codes and the table attached confirms which categories these codes cover.

Current ABA Categories

Accreditation Criteria

Our Accreditation Criteria lists our responsibilities as your accrediting body, and your responsibilities as an RTITB accredited organisation.

Accreditation Criteria

Appeals Procedure

In the event an accredited organisation receives a suspension, removal of instructor registration or RTITB decline an application or registration, you have the right to appeal this decision.

Certificate Checklist

Here you will find a list of all items that need to be included on any RTITB accredited certificates you issue.

Complaints Procedure

We hope that you will never have to make a complaint. But if you do then our procedure is here.

Complaints Procedure

Continuous Professional Development Form

An RTITB registered Instructor can renew any of their operator qualifications on NORS which have expired, using a CPD form – which means that they don’t have to re-train, just provide us with evidence of maintaining professional competence. When an Instructor trains candidates under NORS, they need to be registered on NORS themselves for the machine type. ID card or registration only options are available (see form for pricing).

CPD Form

Course Restrictions List

Restrictions must be used when an operator has received no practical or theoretical instruction in specific elements of the standard Basic Operator’s course. The Course Restrictions List advises of the topics available for restriction.

Data Breach Policy Template

It’s important that you have a policy in place that describes what you will do in the event of a data breach. This template provides you with the prompts required to create a thorough policy.

Data Retention Policy Template

You must have a policy in place that outlines the type of data you will be processing, why and how it is dealt with within your organisation. This template helps you to develop your policy.

Example RTITB Approved NORS Certificate – issued by Accredited Organisation

As an RTITB Accredited organisation, you may choose to issue your own certification to operators. For consistency and correct specifications, this will need to match our approved template. Email your sample to accreditation_team@rtitb.com to be checked and approved.

Non Accredited (non-NORS) Certificate Template

Training that is not uploaded to NORS is not recognised as RTITB accredited training. However, we understand there may be instances where your customers may not ask for this and in these cases, issued certificates must state that the training given was not accredited. Please see a template certificate which shows the information you can include on a non-NORS certificate.

NORS Instructors Operator Qualifications Application

Any machine types a registered Instructor hasn’t previously added on NORS, but has a certificate of basic training for, can be added to their operator registrations with an “Instructors Operator Qualification” form. When an Instructor trains candidates under NORS, they need to be registered on NORS themselves for the machine type. ID card or registration only options are available (see form for pricing). Reminder: Paper Applications – turnaround time 7 working days (excluding queried applications)

RTITB End of Course Feedback Form

Under ABA requirements, RTITB must observe and assess course delivery. This form helps to achieve this and it is to be completed at the conclusion of all RTITB accredited training courses with the total mark uploaded to NORS. This includes the required questions and you must not therefore use your own version in place of this form. A copy should be retained along with the operators training records.
