Course summary

Training starts off around the instructor’s laptop for the health & safety presentation, followed by a video. Then onto the practical part & assessment. Ideally, we require a room for the theory part, and some empty pallets/suitable loads for the practical.

Do not worry too much about delays and staff being pulled away etc. as this is expected when doing on-site training. In terms of space, we work with whatever is available. Ideally an area to do a figure of eight around two cones is desired.
