Forklift Licence
Townsville

No Prior Experience Needed:

Whether you’ve never stood next to a forklift or an experienced operator, our expert, supportive trainers will guide you through every single step of the process. We break everything down clearly and pace the training to your skill level—you are in exceptionally safe, experienced hands.

Course Overview:

Unit Code: TLILIC0003 - Licence to operate a forklift truck. Training and assessment are delivered by Halo Nation Training Pty Ltd (RTO ID: 32485).

This course provides the formal training and practical skills required to operate a forklift truck safely. This is a nationally recognised unit.

Your 3-Phase Journey to Success:

• Phase 1 (Pre-Course Study): Get your digital learning materials instantly upon booking. Review them at your own pace to easily prepare for the theory components.

• Phase 2 (Hands-On Training): Complete intensive practical driving and logbook hours with our team at our central Garbutt facility.

• Phase 3 (The Final Assessment): Secure your ticket via three nationally regulated components: a closed-book theory paper, a practical math calculations section (reading load charts), and a hands-on driving evaluation.

What You Walk Away With:

The moment you pass, we will issue you your Candidate Assessment Summary (CAS). This paperwork serves as your legal interim licence, meaning you can step onto a job site and legally operate a forklift for work right away. It also acts as your official compliance document, which you will then use to lodge your application online with WorkSafe QLD to secure your permanent, physical High-Risk Work Licence photo card. (Please note: You must submit this paperwork online within 60 days of passing your test or the results become invalid by law. WorkSafe QLD also charges a separate government licensing fee at the time of your online submission).

Our staff are here to help you with every single phase of your journey, and we will gladly guide you and answer any questions you have along the way.
