Forklift training in Heanor
On-site forklift training for businesses in Heanor and the Amber Valley area (DE75).
Heanor, Langley Mill and Loscoe have a strong base of small and medium manufacturers, many of whom need just one or two operators certificated at a time. On-site training suits that perfectly.
Typical local customers work in manufacturing, textiles, distribution. Whatever the sector, the format is the same: an accredited Forklift Agency instructor comes to your premises in Heanor, trains your operators on your own trucks, tests them, and we post HSE-recognised certificates. Training is run around your shift pattern — days, nights or weekends — at no extra cost.

Common questions
Do you offer forklift training for individuals?
Unfortunately not. Forklift Agency only provides on-site training at company premises where forklift trucks are available. If you are an individual, our Forklift Training Centres website lists training centres by region, or search "forklift training centres" on Yell.
Where does the training take place?
At your premises, on your trucks, in your working environment. We do not run a training centre. Our instructors bring everything else — laptop or tablet for the safety videos, cones, test paperwork and certificates.
Which accreditations do your instructors hold?
Our instructors are registered with RTITB, AITT or ITSSAR, the accrediting bodies whose certificates are recognised by the HSE under the Approved Code of Practice L117. Each instructor carries their own public liability insurance and has been vetted by us.
How long does forklift training take?
A novice counterbalance course for three people takes three days. Reach trucks, VNA and telehandlers take longer. Refresher and conversion courses are usually one day. We will confirm the duration when we quote.
