- Theory exam
- Practical exam
Participants must be at least 18 years old and have a valid form of identification (national ID card or passport). A driving licence is not accepted as proof of identity.
To attend the refresher course, participants must present a previously issued forklift certificate before the training begins. The certificate must still be valid or have expired no more than 3 months ago. Only certificates issued in the Benelux countries are accepted. Polish certificates are not accepted.
Without an eligible certificate, participants cannot attend the refresher course and must pay the price difference to switch to the standard course. Practical experience alone does not replace the required certificate.
Participants must be physically and mentally fit to operate a forklift safely.
We offer refresher courses in English, Dutch, Polish, Romanian and Russian.
