We know many businesses simply cannot afford downtime during peak hours. By arranging training sessions in the evening or overnight, we help you keep your workforce productive during the day while ensuring they receive the professional training required by law. Our training meets the legal requirements and legal duty set out under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, as well as the approved code of practice for rider operated lift trucks.
Compliance with these standards helps you fulfill your obligations under the work act and maintain a safe workplace. We deliver all courses fully accredited and to the same high standard as daytime training. We are one of the UK’s leading lift truck suppliers of training, dedicated to helping create a safer workforce.
This flexibility is particularly valuable for:
Warehouses and distribution centres operating around the clock
Manufacturing plants with continuous production lines
Logistics and transport companies with varied shift patterns
Retail operations preparing for seasonal peaks
Any business where daytime training would disrupt operations
At HL Training, we are dedicated to helping businesses and individuals maintain professional training standards through a comprehensive range of equipment training courses. We aid employers in developing a team of competent professional forklift operators. Whether you’re looking to upskill your team or gain new skills yourself, our training centre offers practical training on a wide variety of machinery essential for today’s industrial workplaces.
Our training courses cover all major categories of lift trucks, including counterbalance forklift trucks, reach trucks, and scissor lifts, ensuring operators are fully prepared for the demands of modern logistics and warehousing. In addition to forklift trucks, we specialise in other specialist working machinery such as telescopic handlers, lorry mounted cranes (HIAB), and powered access platforms. For those needing to operate access platforms or cherry pickers, we also offer IPAF training courses, providing the skills required for the safe operation of these machines.
All training is delivered by our experienced instructors at our fully equipped training centres, featuring air-conditioned training rooms, kitchen facilities, and ample parking for maximum comfort and convenience. As an RTITB accredited training provider, we operate accreditation schemes in line with the highest professional training standards, following the guidelines set by the Health and Safety Executive and Health and Safety Authority. This ensures that every training course meets the requirements of the Work Equipment Regulations and provides adequate training for safe operation.
We understand the importance of flexibility, offering both on-site training at your premises and courses at our centres located in Bristol and surrounding areas. Our training is suitable for private paying individuals as well as companies seeking to provide adequate training for all their employees. With a strong focus on workplace transport training, we help employers select training organisations that deliver high-quality, professional accredited training.
In addition to standard operator training, we provide refresher courses to keep skills up to date, as well as RTITB instructor training courses for those looking to advance their careers and deliver on-site training themselves. Our comprehensive approach helps employers build a professional portfolio of qualified forklift operators and instructors, ensuring ongoing compliance with health and safety standards.
By choosing HL Training, you can be confident that your team will receive the best in accredited forklift training, practical instruction, and support to operate a lift truck safely and efficiently.

Our out-of-hours courses provide comprehensive forklift truck and lift truck training, including both theory training and forklift practical training. They cover the same wide range of forklift types and categories as our daytime sessions, including:
These courses cover all aspects of forklift driving operations and are designed to provide trainees with the skills to operate equipment safely and efficiently. Both novice and refresher courses can be scheduled at night, and operator and instructor training is also available, ensuring a complete learning pathway.
We deliver all training in line with the latest safety and compliance standards, using dedicated facilities for hands-on learning. This ensures operators not only gain the skills they need but also the certification required to meet HSE (Health & Safety Executive) guidelines. Successful trainees receive a forklift certificate recognized by regulatory bodies including the Health and Safety Executive and the Safety Executive Northern Ireland. Operators must be regularly trained and assessed to maintain compliance and workplace safety. We are proud to offer RTITB accreditation schemes to ensure the highest level of competence.
