Mentor Training, the UK’s leading provider of nationwide workplace transport and safety management training, has released its full list of forklift instructor course dates for next year.
The MHE training specialist has announced its long list of available dates for courses accredited by two of the industry’s foremost standards-setting bodies: AITT and RTITB. There are a range of ten-day novice and five-day re-registration courses available across Mentor’s three separate sites, located throughout the UK, in Chesterfield, Bromsgrove and Livingston. Mentor can also deliver training at customer sites all over the UK mainland.
Mentor’s Managing Director, Stuart Taylor, explains the importance of training and monitoring for a company’s own in-house instructors: “Many businesses provide in-house training via their own instructors. Where these instructors are well utilised, and the standard of training is monitored and consistent throughout the business, this can be a good solution, usually in larger organisations.”
Stuart emphasises the role of accreditation and how it helps to maintain standards within a business: “Remember, when your in-house instructors deliver a course, they are effectively setting the standards for operator safety within your business. Providing them with accredited instructor training will ensure that they can meet the required benchmark set by the industry and, in turn, pass on training of high quality.
“What’s more, instructors training with us also leave with course materials, including pre-prepared presentations, to use when delivering their own training. So you can be sure that everyone is continuing to work to the same criteria and standards once back on site.”
As two of the founding members of the Accrediting Bodies Association (ABA) for Workplace Transport, Stuart stresses that businesses undertaking AITT and RTITB courses can be assured of meeting requirements for safety and compliance: “Accredited training provides a hallmark of quality, giving you the peace of mind that your instructors will return to site with the skills and confidence to roll out a high standard of training amongst your workforce.”
