Instructor Training Testimonials
Simon Tattersall – Operations Supervisor – Alide Hire Services
We have been using HL Training Services for the past 5 years for our in house counter balance training.The standard of training has always been first class, tailoring the course to fit our requirements. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and understanding when it comes to delivering the course content and always ensure that all course members get the required amount of attention for their needs. We have had instructors at our own premises and also sent delegates to be trained at HL’s depot. Both of which have proved to be highly successful. I have no hesitation in recommending HL Training to any organisation looking for top quality training.

Morning gang, hope you are all well.
I would like to say a big thanks to all at H.L. Training for the help and guidance. You are a very special bunch of people, not many of us left these days.

PUWER 98 states operators must always be adequately trained. In order to use a forklift truck legally, this training must be completed and the operator proved competent while operating.
Is forklift training a legal requirement?
There are many advantages to forklift training. The main advantage to this is the safety boost that comes with great quality training and the risk that is eliminated by having a team of workers that are properly and effectively trained to the desired standards.
