Find the right RTITB course for you

RTITB (Road Transport Industry Training Board) sets the accreditation standard for lift truck operator training across the UK. Anyone operating a forklift in the workplace — regardless of how often — must hold a valid certificate for that truck type. Our RTITB courses cover Counterbalance, Reach, and Pivot Steer (Bendy/Flexi) trucks, with Novice, Experienced, Conversion, and Refresher options tailored to each learner's existing experience.

Why is RTITB training so important?

RTITB training is essential for operators and employers aiming to:

  • Minimise Risk: Reduce the chance of accidents, injuries, and equipment damage through proper operating technique and hazard awareness.
  • Ensure Compliance: Meet legal requirements under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, PUWER 98, and LOLER 98.
  • Improve Culture: Build a safer, more efficient warehouse or site with properly certified operators.

Holding a valid RTITB certificate is highly valued by employers, as it demonstrates a genuine, verifiable commitment to safe working practices.

Who should enrol on an RTITB course?

Our RTITB courses are perfect for:

  • Novice operators with no prior forklift experience
  • Experienced operators who haven't received formal certified training
  • Operators converting from one truck type to another
  • Certified operators due a refresher before their certificate expires
  • Warehouse, storage, and distribution centre staff
