ITSSAR Accredited Forklift Training Courses

Looking for professional forklift training? Tamar Valley Training delivers ITSSAR-accredited forklift training courses for individuals and businesses across Cornwall and Devon.

Our courses are designed to ensure operators meet industry standards, improve workplace safety, and gain nationally recognised certification.

ITSSAR (Independent Training Standards Scheme and Register) is one of the UK’s leading accrediting bodies for forklift operator training.

It sets strict training standards to ensure operators are competent, safe, and compliant with workplace regulations.

ITSSAR-accredited training is widely recognised across:

• Warehousing and distribution

• Logistics and transport

• Manufacturing and industrial environments

We provide a full range of ITSSAR-accredited forklift training courses:

Counterbalance Forklift

The most common forklift used for loading, unloading, and general yard operations.

Reach Truck

Ideal for warehouse environments with high racking systems.

Pivot Steer Truck (Bendi / Flexi)

Designed for narrow aisle warehouses to maximise storage space.

Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Truck

Pallet Stacker Truck

Suitable for smaller warehouse operations and stock movement.

Multidirectional Forklift

We offer flexible training based on operator experience:

• Novice Courses
  Full training for beginners with no prior experience

• Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA)
  For operators with experience but no formal qualification

• Refresher Training
  Recommended every 3–5 years to maintain safe operation

All courses include theory and practical assessments in line with ITSSAR standards.

While there is no specific “forklift licence” required by law, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requires employers to ensure all operators are properly trained and competent.

ITSSAR accreditation helps businesses meet these legal obligations and demonstrate compliance.
