Weekly Forklift Training Updates: Reach Truck, Counterbalance & Bendi Courses Across All Locations

Another fantastic week of forklift training updates across Birmingham, Peterborough, and multiple onsite client locations. With a wide variety of RTITB-accredited courses, new learners, returning candidates, and industry clients joining us, here’s everything that happened in last week’s busy training schedule.

Birmingham Centre

Our Birmingham centre continued to be a hub of activity, delivering high-quality RTITB courses to candidates from a range of sectors including healthcare, food production, automotive, and manufacturing.

Reach Truck Novice Training

We delivered multiple Reach Truck Novice courses for both a leading Healthcare distributor client and a large meat production/processing company. Candidates were fully immersed in theory, pre-use inspection training and practical manoeuvres finishing the course with successful passes across the board.

RTITB Counterbalance B1 Novice Courses

We were pleased to once again welcome candidates from the UK’s largest vehicle manufacturer, who completed their RTITB-accredited Counterbalance B1 Novice training. Alongside them, other private and commercial candidates joined us, maintaining our consistently strong completion and pass rate.

Weekend & Conversion Courses

To wrap up the week, Birmingham hosted a number of Reach Truck and Counterbalance back-to-back conversion courses, ideal for candidates progressing from the previous week’s combined training. We even held a Sunday Bendi conversion course, ensuring flexibility for individuals juggling work and personal commitments.

Another smooth, productive week of up skilling operators!

Onsite Training Nationwide

Our instructors were out on the road delivering customised onsite training for clients across different industries. It was one of our busiest onsite weeks yet, with multiple equipment types and training levels covered.

• Counterbalance Novice – Food Catering Client (Birmingham)
  We provided full novice Counterbalance training tailored to the unique space, stock, and operational needs of our food catering client.
• Bendi Novice – Automotive Parts Distributor (Nottingham)
  A complete Bendi Novice course was delivered at their Nottingham location, supporting their growing warehouse operations.
• VNA Training – Healthcare Distributor (Birmingham)
  Our team conducted a VNA course for warehouse operatives working in narrow-aisle environments – helping them increase precision, efficiency, and safety.
• Counterbalance Refresher Courses – Food Supplier (Birmingham)
  We ensured operators stayed compliant and updated with a series of refresher sessions. An essential part of maintaining workplace safety.

From Birmingham to Nottingham and beyond, it was a week filled with travel, training, and successful candidates!

Peterborough Training Centre – Fully Booked courses

Our Peterborough centre had an energetic week, hosting learners from Net UK as well as candidates from the Restart Programme.

RTITB Combined Counterbalance & Reach Truck Courses

Both groups enrolled on our highly popular combined course – earning two RTITB-accredited certificates upon successful completion. This dual qualification gives candidates a strong advantage when applying for warehouse, manufacturing, and logistics roles.

We’re proud to share that every candidate passed, showing fantastic commitment and skill throughout the training.
