Two ways to train in Cambridgeshire
On your site
Our instructor comes to you
Training on your own site in Cambridgeshire means your operators are assessed on your own trucks, in your own racking and your own yard, which is exactly where the certificate needs to count.
What your site needs: the right trucks, a marked-out training area with racking and bulk stacking, and a room for the theory session. Not sure you have all three? Ask us and we will tell you.

| Conversion | Certified on one type of truck, moving to another. | 1 to 3 days |
Training is £360 per training day, ex VAT. The length depends on the truck and on how many people are being trained, and we confirm both when you book. Every course ends in full, nationally recognised certification.

Do operators in Cambridgeshire need a forklift licence?
"Forklift licence" is how most people in Cambridgeshire search for this, and it is worth knowing what the law actually asks for. UK law does not issue a forklift licence. It puts the duty on the employer: operators must be trained, assessed and authorised, and an accredited training certificate is the evidence that they were. Our guide to the forklift licence sets out exactly what is required, and am I legally liable? covers where the responsibility sits.
