Yeah, easy!

I have every catagory on my licence bar the full motorcycle and i'm proud to say i past every test first time, the latest being my Class 1 with only 2 minors! 

Me too - car, motorcycle,forklifts of various types & sizes. Didnt take any lessons for the car test,did a bit of practice with Dad sat beside me (with hand on handbrake),then took the test. I was amazed when I passed tbh.

[Vamps]

I used to drive forklifts in work many moons ago, no tests then......

[feeutfo]

I'd pass the same original test. Not that thats relevant.

I don't think many would pass today's test without a brush up at least, and is it reasonable to expect to pass without some sort of research? I don't think it is.

As I've no idea what's even involved in today's test(s) I would not expect to pass if the test was taken this second.

I'm still aware of the standard required to get through a driving test, having taught both my Son and Daughter to drive (saved them a fortune in lessons) but I would have to be quite focussed to stick with it for the duration of the test.

No such thing as a forklift 'license'

There is a forklift "ticket" but it doesn't go on your license

Didnt say there was. ......But operators are normally tested at 3 year intervals in order to demonstrate their employers compliance with H&S rules & regs. Also normally further testing if changing to larger or fundamentally different types of machine.

Its a Certificate of Basic Training and you need one for every different piece of mechanised machinery. I did my reach one a few months ago and then had to do my counterbalance one because that's the one most employers want apparently

not me to many bad habits now

There is actualy no test or certificate required to legaly drive a forklift, there is a recognised standard certificate of compitence which is overseen by a private firm.

What you will find is that some organisations have thier own internal training and certification standards and dont even consider the recognised 'certs' as acceptable (which is understandable).

Its all about compitency and your ability to demonstrate it plus, in the event of an accident, that you are able to prove that the compitency had been checked.

As an example, if you came to the heritage centre with a cert you would not be allowed to use any of the forklifts until you had completed out internal course and passed the required exam.  ......and you can get to an approved level without a cert.

I know this is also true of some firms to!

Yes, the driving test is a doddle once you've remembered to focus on what you're doing

Passed my C and CE in quick succession recently, and would happily take both again tomorrow 

Six minors on my C test and 5 on my CE, not too shabby for a taxi driving former multidrop driver

Just got one module left for the CPC and job's jobbed

You were under the supervision of a passed out operator......and far from 'using' it 

[Jimbob]

lol, very true!
