How much does forklift training cost?
Several key factors influence course duration and complexity, and therefore pricing, including:
Each course covers safety-critical content tailored to the equipment type, and because some have more complex functionality, course durations and the availability of the instructors qualified to lead the course can vary, this can influence the cost.
Larger groups require more time from the instructor to ensure each delegate receives sufficient attention, practical training, and assessment. With many providers pricing training by the day, this can affect overall cost.
A delegate’s prior experience determines the type of course they need. As you would expect, novices require the most training; experienced, refresher and conversion courses are often shorter and priced accordingly. You can find our guide to forklift training experience levels here.
Forklift training courses comprise of theory and practical elements. Theory training may be completed online or delivered in person, as preferred. Online theory can be done independently in advance, meaning an instructor is not required to attend site until the practical element begins – we refer to this as blended learning. This approach reduces the cost, typically by up to 20% per course.
