Trust us with your Forklift Training
One of the main objectives of our forklift training is to produce proficient and safe operators. Therefore, all courses begin with a Health and Safety induction. Amongst other topics, we discuss operators' responsibility in the workplace, as advised by the HSE.
All of our forklift training and other varied training is delivered in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere by experienced and qualified instructors who have had comprehensive training in Northern Ireland, instructional techniques and skills assessment. Our instructors appreciate that a few days of training have to prepare their trainees for a lifetime of operator training. Therefore, to achieve a high standard of training, they stretch and challenge their learners to get the best out of them.
Our instructors are happy to go the extra mile with any additional help and support required. We do our best to ensure operators pass our courses, but also believe that forklift driver training isn't just about passing a test but readying operators for day-to-day forklift use.

Our Testimonals
Very Helpful
I can thoroughly recommend using Safety 1st training, on arrival for my first day at the centre I was a little apprehensive as this was the first time I would of been driving a forklift, and I was also the only female on the course, the instructors immediately made me feel very welcome and at ease. If I was unsure of anything they had explained or demonstrated they took the time to go through my question and re-assure me. I was actually sad to finish the course. Thank you
Super happy with my pass
A really good place to get new skills and refresh old, great stuff.
fantastic
As an employee of Lidl, I enrolled in this course and have gained the skills and confidence to operate the Reach truck. The instructor demonstrated impressive knowledge and effective teaching techniques. The course was structured in a way that allowed me to learn every detail step by step, which I found enjoyable. The support received throughout the course was fantastic.
Very happy
Brian was an excellent trainer. I completed the Counterbalance forklift licence through my workplace. The experience was enjoyable and the course was thorough with learning the required information for me to pass the test with minimal effort.
A little nervous at the beginning
Overall I would rate the trainer as excellent. He was clear, organised and very knowledgeable about the course. He had a good rapport with all the delegates which made for relaxed learning
