Learning how to operate a forklift is a handy employment skill enabling students to discover job opportunities in industries like manufacturing, logistics and storage industries. There are work prospects in factories, warehouses, storage yards, airports and marine ports, etc. Upon completing this course, you will gain considerable knowledge and practical skills on operating a forklift.
