Forklift Training

Sunshine Coast Forklift Training

Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay workers come to our Lawnton training centre for their forklift licence because the training day and the test day are both locked in when you book, so you know your licence date from the start. You do the theory online first with pre-course video guides, so most of the training day is spent driving the forklifts, with excellent student-to-forklift ratios and patient, welcoming instructors. Complete beginners are welcome, and your first re-sit is free. Weekend classes are Saturday training with a Sunday test, so you don't need a weekday off work; it is two trips to Lawnton, and both dates are locked in when you book. Businesses on the Sunshine Coast can have us train staff onsite on their own forklifts, and one visit can cover new licences and refreshers. Phone 1300 699 150 or book online.

FMS training was first-class. Byron's skill as an educator was of exceptional quality, giving clear, no-nonsense instructions while mixing the discipline required for high-risk training with friendly humour, making it an easy-to-learn process.

This is Joyce, and I passed the test! I'm very grateful to Joy for the administrative work before the class, which allowed me to register smoothly. Thank you to Coach Byron for his constant encouragement and guidance, which enabled me to pass the test. Both are professionals, and I'm very grateful.

I really loved the way the teacher explained everything in detail. It was easy to understand, and the learning was fun! 😄 Besides being a great teacher, Byron is also a good rapper 😆 We learned jingles to make studying easier. I’d definitely recommend FMS Training to my coworkers! 🔥🔥
