Why
NZ Health & Safety require operators using a forklift within the workplace to have a current Forklift Operator Certificate. These certificates expire and need to be renewed every 3 years.
The F endorsement is the Land Transport Driver Licence requirement for operators driving a forklift on a public road. This course allows operators that have a full NZ Class 1 driver licence to gain or renew their Forklift Operator's Certificate and complete the F endorsement.
