About this course

This forklift training course in Mackay will equip you with the knowledge and skills to safely operate a forklift truck for use within the mining, construction and general construction industries.

A High Risk Forklift licence is ideal for those looking to perform forklift activities across a wide range of industries.

The following topics are covered within this forklift licence course:

  • Plan work/task
  • Prepare for work/task
  • Perform work/task
  • Pack up

NEW 2-Day Format

This new two-day course format is designed to suit persons with previous industry exposure and/or workplace experience. Students with experience working within construction, mining, sugar, transport, warehousing, maintenance or similar industries often already possess a general understanding of workplace safety, hazards, risk controls and safe work practices, allowing training to be delivered in a more streamlined and efficient format.

The course includes both training and assessment over two full days face-to-face at our training facility. Additional learning support will still be provided where required.

Training Days Focus On:

  • Forklift theory training and presentation delivery
  • Practical forklift operation
  • Load handling and workplace safety application
  • Theory and calculation revision
  • Formal knowledge and practical assessment

This structured approach ensures maximum hands-on machine time during the practical training days while maintaining full compliance with assessment requirements.

Ideal For:

  • Workers that have experience in heavy industry, mining, Ports, warehousing, workshops or Sugar industries
  • Persons operating forklifts or similar plant without formal evidence for RPL
  • Individuals requiring a compliant pathway to High Risk Work Licence assessment

If you are brand new to heavy industries or have English as a 2nd language, you may want to consider our 3-day Standard forklift course or completing pre-learning material.

If you are required to operate a forklift truck, you will need to hold a current High Risk Work Licence – LF.
