How to Pass Your Practical Forklift Driving Test

It’s likely that you’ll need to bring some documentation and other items with you prior to the commencement of your examination, including a form of identification, payment or even a pen and paper. You might also be required to wear PPE, including steel-capped toed boots, high-visibility outerwear, hard hats, ear muffs or even goggles. You might be required to put those items on before your test starts, so make sure you get enough sleep and turn up to your exam reasonably early to account for this time.

Do some research beforehand

You should research practical forklift driving tests before you take it. Not only will this help you to know what to expect, but it’ll also give you as much time as possible to prepare for what’s ahead. Reading about other forklift operators’ experiences is also beneficial along with some of the industry’s safest and most common practices. This will give you the best possible chance of passing your practical forklift driving test, helping you to get behind the wheel as soon as possible.

Use RTITB & ITSSAR accredited instructors

RTITB is the leading body in setting standards for workplace transport training. ITSSAR offers an accreditation scheme with practical training specialists at the helm of their operations. If your forklift instructor is ITSSAR and RTITB accredited, then this will help to ensure that you pass your practical forklift driving test. Not only will they be able to train you to an exceptional standard, but they’ll also be able to impart expert advice and guidance to harm you with relevant, up-to-date information.
