Forklift courses in Burnley
Start with the experience of your operators.
A new starter and a long-standing operator may need different training. PASS can discuss novice, refresher and conversion requirements for your Burnley business, including teams with a mix of experience.
01 / Starting out
New to forklift operation?
Novice operator training gives businesses a starting point when an employee has little or no forklift operating experience. Tell Paul about the role they will be taking on and the truck they will be using.
Discuss a new starter or an existing employee moving into an operator role.
02 / Existing operators
Time to revisit the basics?
Refresher training is for experienced operators who need to revisit their skills. Let Paul know about any time away from operating, changes at work or areas you would like the training to focus on.
Discuss the operator’s current experience and your reasons for arranging a refresher.
03 / Different equipment
Moving to another truck type?
Conversion training is for operators with existing experience who are preparing to use a different type of forklift. Explain what they have used before and what they will be expected to operate next.
Share both the previous truck type and the equipment your workplace is introducing.
Relevant to your workplace
Put the day-to-day job at the centre of the conversation.
Whether your team works in a warehouse, a production area or a busy yard, the enquiry starts with how forklifts are used at your premises. These details help Paul discuss a suitable training approach.
Your trucks and loads
Tell Paul which forklift types your team uses and the loads they handle as part of the job.
Your working environment
Describe the operating areas, storage arrangements and any loading or unloading tasks you want to discuss. We come to you to do the training.
Your people and shifts
Include the number of operators, their experience and any shift patterns that affect availability.

Your questions
Before you arrange training in Burnley.
Clear information about the training, your workplace and what to include in your enquiry.
Can forklift training take place at our Burnley premises?
Tell Paul you would like training at your workplace and provide details of the truck, operating area and available space. He can discuss suitability and any other requirements before confirming the location.
Which course should we enquire about?
Novice training is the starting point for people with little or no operating experience. Refresher training revisits existing skills, while conversion training relates to a different forklift type. If your team has mixed experience, describe each operator’s background when you enquire.
Is PASS forklift training accredited?
No. PASS provides independent, non-accredited forklift training tailored to company requirements. It does not offer externally accredited qualifications. If your company or customer requires a particular accreditation, raise that requirement before booking.
How long does training take, and what will it cost?
Send the number of operators, their experience, the forklift type and your site postcode. The duration, training arrangements and quotation can then be discussed with Paul for your enquiry.
Can we enquire for one operator or a team?
Yes. Tell Paul how many people need training and their experience levels. He can discuss suitable arrangements, including where the group has different training needs.
Need wider support for your team?
PASS also offers workplace safety courses and health and safety consultancy. Include any additional requirements when you contact Paul.
