Our RTITB Lift Truck Instructor Course - Initial (Novice) will provide experienced lift truck operators with the skills, specialist knowledge and formal training required to deliver counterbalance lift truck operator training and assessment to learners as a fully accredited and registered RTITB Instructor.

This ten-day course provides interactive and mentored theory sessions, professional discussion and practice, and prepares candidates to cater for the needs of their learners both inside and outside of the training room.

To be eligible for an RTITB Lift Truck Instructor Course - Initial (Novice), candidates must provide:
