Forklift Operator, (F) Endorsement, and Attachments Unit Standards 10851, 10852, 18409, 18496
Course Overview
This course can consist of several parts, the F endorsement, the forklift operator’s certificate and associated equipment.
The operators certificate entitles you to use a forklift to move and place loads as required and operate in a workplace along with related attachments or safety platform if also assessed.
The F endorsement entitles you to drive a forklift where there may be public or on public roads.
The operators certificate expires every 3 years, while the F endorsement does not expire and refreshes at the same time as your driver license.
We also provide courses for forklift attachments and the forklift mounted safety platform if you require any of these units as well, please let us know (additional costs apply) but they can all be delivered at the same time as a full OSH Operator course or refresher.
If a Trainee is enrolling on a vehicle driver license or endorsement course including but not limited to Car Lessons, Class 2-5 Trucks, W,T,R,F,D or V endorsements that the trainee clearly checks the pre requirement for class of license and duration stated on the course proposal or booking sheet. M.O.S.T will do our best to confirm prior to the course with the trainee, but it is the trainee who is responsible for confirming their own situation before booking a course.
The Trainee on all license and endorsement courses must also bring their physical driver license on each and every day of the enrolled course to be sited by the instructor, this can be a temporary paper license or a full photo license. If a temporary paper license trainees are encouraged to also bring a separate form of photo identification. NO PHYSICAL LICENSE, NO COURSE ATTENDANCE and the trainee will be released from the course and treated as a non attendance in line with our cancelation policy
