Forklift Training for Non-English Speakers: Breaking Language Barriers at 4KS
Multilingual Forklift Training at 4KS Forklift Training
At 4KS Forklift Training, we pride ourselves on being inclusive and adaptable, providing training solutions that work for everyone. For individuals whose first language isn’t English, the thought of undergoing forklift training can feel intimidating. This is why we’ve built a team of multi-lingual and highly experienced instructors who are not only adept at communicating in different languages but also skilled in ensuring that language barriers never become an obstacle to success.
Belmondo Serban’s Inspiring Journey
Belmondo Serban, a candidate from Romania, recently joined us at our Birmingham training centre to complete his Counterbalance course. Nervous at first, Belmondo was soon put at ease by the patience, professionalism, and encouragement of our instructors.
In his video testimonial, spoken in Romanian, Belmondo shared his experience to inspire others from his community to take the leap:
“The instructors here are the best in England, very polite, patient, and supportive. They explain everything in simple terms, making the course accessible and stress-free. I recommend 4KS Forklift Training to anyone interested in building a career as a forklift operator.”
Belmondo successfully passed his RTITB-accredited Counterbalance course, leaving us with newfound confidence and the skills to advance in his career.
Diversity in Training: A Global Approach
Belmondo is just one example of the diverse range of candidates we’ve had the privilege to train. Here at 4KS, we welcome candidates from all walks of life, backgrounds, and languages. Alongside Belmondo, we’ve recently trained candidates who spoke Urdu and Amharic, highlighting the diversity of our training environment.
For instance:
Qasim Mir speaking Urdu expressed his gratitude for the instructors’ ability to bridge the language gap, making complex concepts simple to understand. In this instance we have instructors who speak Urdu and Panjabi so it was easy to communicate with Qasim.
Qasim - Urdu Speaking Candidate
Dawit Fasil Tadese, fluent in Amharic, from Eritrea felt empowered and supported throughout their training journey. We managed to explain instructions in simple terms to get the message across.

“We believe that language barriers should never stand in the way of someone achieving their professional goals, and our training centre reflects this philosophy every day.”

How We Make It Work
- Multi-lingual Instructors: Our instructors speak a range of languages, including English, Urdu, Punjabi, Arabic and Swahili, allowing them to communicate directly with candidates where possible.
- Patience and Experience: Even when language proficiency differs, our instructors use clear demonstrations, visual aids, and tailored guidance to ensure every candidate understands the training.
- Diverse and Inclusive Environment: We’ve created a welcoming space where everyone feels valued, regardless of their linguistic background.
