DW Forklift Training

Never driven a forklift before?

Good. Neither had most of the people we've trained.

You don't need experience. You don't need qualifications. You just need to show up and put the work in.

Five days with us and you'll walk away with an RTITB-accredited forklift licence - recognised by employers across the Midlands.

That's it. That's the deal.

NEW BLOG: ON-SITE FORKLIFT TRAINING - IS IT RIGHT FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

Bringing training to your workplace rather than sending staff to a training centre isn't the right choice for every business - but for many, it's the smarter one.

Our latest blog breaks down exactly how on-site forklift training works, who it suits, and what to expect from the process.

Hope the bank holiday was good to you.

Two long weekends in May - not bad going.

Quick question while you've still got that post-bank-holiday energy:

Where do you want to be in your career by this time next year?

A) Same place, which is fine - stability matters
B) A new role with better pay
C) Fully certified and actually working in logistics
D) Honestly not sure yet

Drop your answer below. No judgement either way - but if B or C is you, it might be worth a conversation. Forklift training takes days, not months. The certification lasts years.

REACH TRUCK TRAINING: GO HIGHER, EARN MORE

If you've already got your Counterbalance licence, a Reach Truck qualification is one of the most effective ways to increase your value to employers.

Reach truck operators work in high-bay racking environments - precise, skilled work that commands a higher rate of pay. The training builds on what you already know and adds a genuinely specialist skill to your CV.

Our Reach Truck courses are available for operators with existing experience, as well as those new to this type of truck.

"I'm not sure I'd be any good at it."

If you've ever thought this about forklift training - this one's for you.

And if you know someone who's said exactly this, tag them below. Because what our instructors will tell you is this: it's not about natural ability. It's about proper training.

We work with complete beginners every single week. People who arrive unsure and leave certified. That's not luck. That's what good instruction looks like.

The only people who don't get there are the ones who never start. 👇

NEW BLOG: HOW TO CHOOSE A FORKLIFT TRAINING PROVIDER

Not all forklift training is equal - and knowing what to look for before you book could save you from wasting time and money on a course that doesn't deliver.

Our latest blog covers the key questions worth asking any provider, and the answers that tell you whether they're worth trusting.

CONFIDENCE IN ACTION

This is what it looks like when training actually works.

Every person who comes through our doors starts somewhere - and for a lot of people, that starting point involves some real nerves about whether they can do it.

This is proof that they can.

Our instructors work with people of all backgrounds and experience levels. No previous experience needed. No formal qualifications required. Just a willingness to learn.

If you've been wondering whether forklift training is something you could manage - watch this, and then give us a call.

ATTENTION EMPLOYERS: ARE YOUR OPERATORS STILL CERTIFIED?

A forklift licence doesn't last forever. The HSE recommends refresher training every 3 to 5 years - and with summer operations ramping up, now is a sensible time to check.

We offer flexible refresher courses designed to work around your schedule and your team's shift patterns. One day. Fully accredited. Back to work the next.

It's not just about compliance - it's about making sure your people are operating safely with up-to-date knowledge.

BE HONEST - did you know there was a difference between accredited and non-accredited forklift training before today?

A lot of people don't - and it's not their fault. Training is training, right?

Not quite.

RTITB accreditation means your course has been assessed against a national standard. Your instructor has been verified. Your certificate is one that employers actually trust.

Without it, you might complete a course and still find that the employer you want to work for won't accept your qualification.

Comment below - did you know this before you read it? And if you've been through forklift training, was accreditation something you checked first?

Worth knowing before you book. Worth sharing so others know too. 👇
