Participants must hold a current high-risk forklift licence which must be presented to the assessor during the practical assessment.
Course assessment tasks
This forklift VOC course is based on a national standard for forklift operators. There are two assessment tasks:
Knowledge assessment (theory) — course participants must complete a written or verbal knowledge assessment involving 20 questions that require short response answers.
Practical observation assessment — course participants must demonstrate skill and knowledge in operating a forklift truck including pre start-up procedures. This involves hazard idenitication and prevention, pre and post operational checks, shifting loads of various weights and heights, and shutting down the forklift truck.
The assessment is directly supervised by our SafeWork NSW Accredited Assessor who will re-train you on any gaps in your knowledge and skills.
