We may either put you off with prices that are too high for what you actually need or leave you with hidden costs later on that put us out of budget.

How long do the courses take?
Here at DW Forklift Training, we strive to have your course completed as quickly as possible, as we understand that any unnecessary delays can eat into your already busy schedule! But what we will not do is compromise on quality. We will always ensure that all knowledge has been taught to a thorough standard, so you can walk out of our forklift training in West Midlands. We also encourage the asking of questions and learning from those around you to make sure that you obtain the most knowledge possible from our forklift training. This way of collaborative learning has worked very effectively in all of our courses. Who knows, you might learn something valuable from one of your peers!
With this in mind, our courses are usually completed in six to eight hours (breaks included of course!). This gives us enough time to combine classroom learning with hands on experience, giving you an all-round picture of how to drive a forklift efficiently and safely. Once you have been taught by DW Forklift Training, we can assure you that you will become a skilled forklift driver in literally no time!

Be sure to get in touch with our friendly team of experts today to find out how we can help you become a better forklift driver with our forklift training in West Midlands.
Do I need a driving licence to complete the training?
A common misconception is that a licence to drive a car is needed to also drive a forklift, but this is not the case. After all, driving a forklift is a lot different to driving any other vehicle! Should you not have a car licence, don’t think that this counts you out of learning and passing our forklift training in Birmingham. We’re able to teach you from scratch so that you become a more than capable forklift driver and are able to pass our course and drive forklifts in the future.
In fact, many of the people that take our forklift course in Birmingham live in the city centre and don’t have a car licence, and we are happy to say that the vast majority of these students represent the trend we have company-wide. With exceptional pass rates, you needn’t worry about your driving experience when coming to us at DW Forklift Training.
Does a Forklift Certificate expire?
The certification that you receive from DW Forklift Training will never expire, but this isn’t to say that you’re set for life! After all, important legislation may come into effect that may alter what you need to know to drive forklifts successfully and effectively.
In the past, we have found many people coming back to DW Forklift Training for a forklift refresher course in Birmingham under the guidance of their employer that would like them to receive the most up to date training possible.
Some companies prefer to have their employees re-certificated every 3 years to ensure the most relevant level of training, whilst others send their employees for high standards of training from us every 5 years. We are more than happy to oblige and offer the training required.
