Training That Opens Doors

Key Performance Training offers a comprehensive range of RTITB-accredited courses across the full spectrum of lift truck operation, including counterbalance, reach truck, and pivot steer training, as well as first aid, health and safety, and fire marshal qualifications.

All certification is valid for three years and fully compliant with HSE guidance and current legislation.

For employers, on-site training at their own premises is available, making it straightforward for businesses to upskill their entire workforce without disruption.
