Can Your Business Conduct Training Internally?
Yes of course, but the workplace training for forklifts and order pickers should be conducted by a person who can prove their competence and who has many years of HRW training and assessing experience. The whole process must be recorded, evidence kept and the content should sufficiently cover the licencing requirements.

How Do I Get A Gold Card?
