Refresher Forklift Course

Refresher Forklift Course or Verification of Competency (VOC) is a process designed to ensure that an individual possesses the necessary skills and knowledge to safely and effectively operate machinery or perform a specific task in their workplace.

This process is typically used to verify that employees are still competent in their roles after initial training or for compliance with industry regulations.

At FMS Training, our refresher or VOC training are conducted by experienced trainers and assessors, ensuring that your staff meets all safety and operational standards.
