At our Ingleburn training centre, 3A Williamson Road, Ingleburn NSW 2565. Call 1300 668 141 if you need directions or want to check a date.

The Forklift Licence (LF) course takes 3 days, face to face, with theory and hands-on practical training.

When you are assessed as competent you receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for TLILIC0003, issued by Kallibr Training (RTO 32365). You then apply to the work health and safety regulator in your state (Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, SafeWork NSW or WorkSafe Victoria) for your High Risk Work Licence. We explain the application on the day.

There are no prerequisites. You also need to be 18 years or older; able to read, understand, and write English; able to produce and meet the evidence of identity criteria as per SafeWork / Worksafe identification requirements.

Forklift Licence (LF) costs $533 in New South Wales, $690 in Queensland and $495 at our Gold Coast centre, per person. The fee for each class shows next to its date before you book. Your state regulator charges a separate fee for the licence itself, paid to them when you apply.

At our training centres in Salisbury (Brisbane), Ingleburn (Sydney) and Gold Coast (Carrara). We can also run it at your workplace for a group, if your site meets the training and assessment requirements.

You are assessed through a written or verbal theory assessment and a practical assessment. The licence assessment uses the national assessment instrument and is run by an accredited assessor. If you are not yet competent in a part, your trainer explains what to work on and the options for reassessment.
