Unit of Competence

OHSCER207A - Operate a Fork Lift Truck

Am I eligible to undertake this training?

Minimum age of 18 years with the ability to speak and write English to a basic level and have the necessary levels of health and fitness to safely carry out work as a Forklift Truck Operator. Participants must also produce proof of identity before the final assessment can be undertaken.

Is there Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) ?

Yes, your history of study, skills and experience can be taken into account but it must support the performance criteria set out in the unit of competency. Documentary evidence and interview will be required.

Due to the high risk nature of the load shifting course, a mandatory challenge test must be undertaken in accordance with the licensing/regulatory authority assessment requirements. This challenge test consists of a written knowledge test and is followed by a practical test to demonstrate competence against the OHS assessment instrument.

Assistance with reading, writing or mathematics

We can provide support in some areas. Where we cannot, we will provide direction to other agencies who may be able to assist.

What will the participant receive at the conclusion of the course?

Upon successful completion of the course you will be issued with a photocopy of the completed assessment summary report together with a license/certification application form and a Statement of Attainment for the unit of competency completed.

How will the participant be assessed?

The theory part of the training (including the written challenge test) can be conducted at our training premises or on-site at your workplace, and will be completed in one day. The practical assessment component of the course is set out in the attached price list.
