Two ways to train in Hornchurch
On your site
Our instructor comes to you
Training can run on your own premises in Hornchurch. Operators learn on the trucks they will drive every day, in the aisles and yards they actually work in, and nobody loses a day to travelling.
Before we come out, check you have the equipment the course covers, an area set aside with racking and bulk stacking to train in, and a quiet space for the theory. We can talk you through any of it.
At our centre
Purfleet training centre
Scheduled courses run at our three RTITB accredited centres through the year, and each centre's accreditation certificate is published on the course pages. Our Chatham training centre also runs courses, if its dates suit you better.
