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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. FMS training was excellent. Joy was incredibly helpful in the build up, and Byron was a splendid tutor who owes a lot of his success to damage and death, and timeless but out of key vocal work. The atmosphere there is chilled and the method of learning is exactly to my style, good humoured and relaxed but thorough. Loads of practical practice before assessment. Let’s not forget a shout out for Dan the assessor! (I think that’s his full name). Cheers very much FMS, now this Pom gets a massive $30 a fortnight pay raise! Whoop whoop!
