Mark Lewis, Turnround & Operational Compliance Manager, BBC Studioworks

I would like to thank you for your efforts and attention to detail when processing our purchase. Your service to us alone is what won you the business against the other 5 companies I approached. Not one other company offered to survey our building and I doubt they would have kept me updated like you have. I will certainly be recommending you and your company to any companies we deal with who may require your services.

Instructor Training questions

What do I need before joining the 10 day instructor course?

Documentary evidence of a successfully completed Basic Operating Skills course for the Counterbalance machine type, taken within the 12 months before the course start date. It does not need to have been an RTITB accredited operator course. If you hold different evidence, contact the Exam Team before the course starts, because otherwise you may be ineligible for examination.

How much operating experience do I need?

We strongly recommend a minimum of six months of industrial experience operating lift trucks. Accredited organisations should also consider a candidate’s literacy and numeracy levels before accepting them onto the course.

My instructor registration has lapsed. Can I renew it?

Yes. The re-certification course is for currently qualified and recently expired RTITB lift truck instructors who need to refresh their qualification and renew their registration. There is a version that includes remedial training time, and a version for very experienced, highly competent instructors that does not.

I am registered with another body. Do I have to start again?

No. The conversion course is an entry route to RTITB registration for instructors already registered, or expired by up to 12 months, with bodies including AITT, ITSSAR, NPORS, IPAF, LANTRA, CITB, ALLMI, LEEA and PASMA, as well as RTITB LGV and ICI instructors, military and fire service instructors, and holders of qualifications such as PTLLS, CTLLS, DTLLS or the Award in Education and Training.

I am a beginner. Can I still become an instructor?

Get in touch. If you need to refresh your operating skills up to the level required to pass one of our instructor courses, we will tell you what that takes and help you get there.

Where does the training take place?

You have two options. Training runs at our accredited training centres in Purfleet in Essex, Chatham in Kent and Cosham in Portsmouth, or we come to your premises anywhere in the UK.

Is the certification recognised?

Yes. We are an RTITB accredited training provider and our courses end in full, nationally recognised certification, so you have documented evidence of training and assessment for your own records.
