What is on this site
One question, "how much is a forklift course", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- Forklift licence UK: there isn't one, and HSE says so: There is no UK forklift licence and no legal requirement for a certificate. What the law requires is adequate training under PUWER. What employers should ask for instead.
- Forklift training cost: what drives the price, and what to ask: No official body publishes a forklift course price. What sets it: course length, trainee to instructor ratio, truck type, on-site or centre delivery, and retests.
- How often does forklift training need renewing? HSE: no set interval: There is no legal expiry on forklift training. HSE sets no interval and suggests employers may adopt 3–5 years, backed by monitoring. When a retest is needed sooner.
