Struggling to find work. Struggling to get the money together to pay for your Forklift Licence. A government subsidised course can be a great way to enhance your skills and open up new job opportunities.
Forklift Licence only courses do not attracted Government subsidies
We must stress that a government subsidised course are for full qualifications only as defined by the national training standards. Some subsidised qualifications can take over 6 months to complete with the majority of them taking 12 to 24 months to complete. These time frames are defined by government regulation and the national training standards.
While the Certificate III in Driving Operations can include the skills and knowledge required for a forklift licence, we understand that this can be a long time and a quicker option needs to be arranged.
For this reason we are able to offer all eligible applicants an opportunity to apply for one of our stand alone forklift licences. Please note that these stand alone courses are not subsidised by a government subsidy.
