How long does training to be a forklift operator take?

Depending on the training centre, training typically lasts 3-5 days. The time it takes will vary according to your previous experience.

Examples

5-day training: this would be required for new operators with no prior experience.
3-day training: if you have had prior experience operating a forklift in some way but have no formal training, 3-day training will likely be suggested.
1-day training: if you are an experienced operator who has already been certified, you would be given a one-day refresher course to keep your certification current.
