Jump to: Birmingham | Onsite Training | Peterborough | Weekly Highlight
Birmingham Training Centre
Our Birmingham centre ran a full and varied programme this week, including:
- 1-to-1 RTITB Accredited B1 training for candidates from the UK’s largest vehicle manufacturer, completing their courses at the centre
- Counterbalance Novice training across two groups, alongside a Counterbalance Experienced course
- A Reach Truck Novice course alongside a Reach Truck Experienced course
- Reach Truck back-to-back conversion training for four candidates
- Powered Pallet Truck (PPT) conversion training for four candidates


Onsite Training Across the UK
Our onsite instructors supported five clients in four locations this week:
- Birmingham: Reach Truck Novice training for three candidates at our food wholesaler client in Aston, and for one candidate at our medical healthcare distributor client
- Oldbury: Counterbalance Experienced training for two candidates, for a client in Oldbury
- Leicester: A5 Pallet Stacker Refresher training for one candidate, for Europe’s largest automotive parts distributor
- Nantwich: A5 Pallet Stacker conversion training for two candidates, plus PPT Novice training for three candidates, for an end-to-end cheese manufacturing client


Peterborough Training Centre
Peterborough had another busy week, including:

- Reach Truck back-to-back conversion training for three candidates
- Counterbalance back-to-back conversion training for two candidates


Weekly Highlight: Conversion Training Across Every Route
Conversion training was the thread running through this week. Well over a dozen candidates converted onto a new truck type: Reach Truck and Counterbalance back-to-back conversions, PPT conversions in Birmingham, and an A5 Pallet Stacker conversion for a client in Nantwich.
Conversion training builds on the experience operators already have, helping teams widen their skills without starting from scratch. It’s something we deliver at both of our centres and at your site, with onsite training bringing the course to the equipment your team already uses.
