Onsite or Incentre Forklift Truck Training?

Our purpose-built forklift truck training centre, houses 3 training bays which means we can offer our customers a choice of attending training at our training centre or alternatively our instructors can deliver the training at their premises.

Based on the training we carried out in February the demand for training at our centre was slightly higher (56%) than training taken place at customer premises (44%).  There are many pros and cons of either option.

Training at customer premises

Pros

  • Tailored to your specific work environment and hazards.
  • Uses your own forklift trucks, making training more relevant.
  • More cost-effective for multiple employees.
  • Minimizes downtime by reducing employee travel.
  • Flexible scheduling to fit your operations.

Cons

  • Requires a suitable training area at your premises.
  • Your forklift truck must be made available for the duration of the training.
  • May require extra administration and safety preparation.

Training at a dedicated centre

Pros

  • No disruptions to your workplace operations.
  • Structured learning environment with fewer distractions.
  • Uses their own training equipment and facilities.
  • Ideal for individuals.
  • In a controlled setting.

Cons

  • Employees need to travel, increasing time and costs.
  • May use different equipment or layout than your workplace.
  • Less customisation for company-specific needs.

Whichever is your preference we can help in meeting your training needs.
