Forklift Truck Training Courses in South Wales & South West England
Certified, on-site FLT training that fits your operation.
I’m Povilas, an instructor accredited by the Association of Industrial Truck Trainers (AITT). I bring fully tailored forklift truck training to your premises, coaching operators on the equipment they already use. Because every lesson happens where the work is done, productivity stays high and each manoeuvre mirrors real-world hazards found across South Wales and the South West. On successful completion candidates earn ABA-recognised certification valid for five years, giving you rock-solid proof of compliance.
Why train with Alway Forklift Training?
- Save time & money - No travel or hire trucks; all tuition is delivered in house, right on site.
- Boost safety & confidence - Practical lessons emphasise daily checks, stability theory and safe load-handling.
- Stay legally compliant - Every course aligns with the L117 ACOP, AITT policy and ABA guidance, so your paperwork withstands any audit.
- Truly personal coaching - Groups are capped at three, ensuring each driver gets meaningful seat time and detailed feedback.
In-house & Fully Compliant
All programmes follow the AITT syllabus and the L117 ACOP for rider-operated lift trucks, and they are logged on controlled forms for your health-and-safety file. I track HSE updates so every module reflects the latest safety advice on visibility, pedestrian separation and battery care. Written and practical tests are marked immediately, and successful candidates receive an in house certificate for training records.
