Factory 3/25-27 Graham Court, Hoppers Crossing
VIC 3029
2 Day (LF) Forklift Licence Course
8:30am – 4:00pm each day (approximate finish time – depends on group size, experience etc.)
- Minimum 18 years of age
- Valid photo identification (Government Issued) – Cannot be expired
- Must reside in Victoria and be able to supply proof of Victorian address
- English and numeracy skills (See LLN Requirements Section)
- Basic car driving skills and knowledge is an advantage
- Must have valid USI. It’s free and takes only 5 mins to create – Please go to the USI website.
- Appropriate clothing – No open-toed footwear etc.
- Must have completed study material. This material must be submitted on the first day of your course.
LLN support is available to give students advice and help with language, literacy, and numeracy services. Therefore, students who need assistance with their learning should be identified when they enrol. Additionally, trainers and staff at Trainix can provide support to help students throughout the learning process.
Moreover, language, literacy, and numeracy skills are usually included and identified in training products and accredited course programs. To identify these requirements, students need to demonstrate the following:
Language/Literacy in the Workplace:
To enrol in the LF or LO course, you need a moderate level of English understanding. This is because, as an HRW licence holder, you must communicate verbally in English with co-workers, supervisors, managers, truck drivers, and customers.
You will also need to have the language skills to read and understand the following:
- Workplace Policies & Procedures
- Hazard Signs
- Checklists
- Work Orders
- Consignment Notes (and other transport documents such as manifests and invoices)
- Forklift and/or Order Picker Data Plates & Warning Labels
- Forklift and/or Order Picker Operator Manuals
Numeracy in the Workplace:
You will need to be able to assess the loads that you are lifting. Sometimes this may require you to calculate the weight of a load. You may also need to conduct stocktake (counting stock) and pick or pack orders that will also require counting.
LLN Procedure
- Prior to course commencement, we send a link to an online LLN quiz/enrolment form that will help us determine whether a student is or isn’t eligible to enrol or requires assistance (verbal test, AMES etc.)
- Once we have received a successful LLN response, the student can proceed with the course. If a student is unsuccessful and requires assistance or additional support, we suggest AMES (English classes) to be attended before booking a course.
- If a student passes the LLN successfully but still has concerns with writing, we can offer a verbal assessment at no additional charge.
- If after a successful LLN result but the student is found to be having difficulty during the course, additional time will be organised for study before attempting the National Assessment.
- A full refund will only be offered if it is determined by the RTO that a student’s LLN skills are too poor to continue. This would be due to inability to communicate and understand trainer’s instruction or if a student cannot read/understand the information in the Study Material/Workbook.
- Admin will organise course commencement once LLN skills have been deemed successful.
Our 2-Day Forklift Training Course (LF Licence) is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those with years of forklift experience. If you want to find work in the warehousing and logistics industry, getting an forklift ticket is a great way to start.

FORKLIFT TRAINING & LF LICENCE FAQS
The forklift course runs for 2-days. The first day is a mixture of theory classroom based learning and practical forklift training. The second day is when all the assessments are conducted.
Prior to attending the course, there will be study material to learn at home also. This helps get prepared for the theory sessions and gives students the best chance of passing the assessments.
The forklift course starts at 8:30am each day and runs until approximately 4pm.
The finish times can vary if the group size is smaller or if there are some experienced operators in the group.
You will need to bring one form of valid photo ID. Your photo ID must be any of the following and cannot be expired:
- Australian Driver’s Licence/Learners Permit
- Passport (Australian passport can be expired by 2 years but international passports must be in date)
- Proof of Age Card
- KeyPass
- Australian Boat Licence
- Australian Security Licence
- Australian High Risk Work Licence
- University or other tertiary education photo ID
This ID must be presented in person and can’t be a photocopy. Digital issued licences are acceptable but will need to be sited by the trainer.
You will also need to bring your completed ‘workbook’ and wear appropriate clothing. Safety boots are not required but you will at least need to wear closed toe shoes (runners, sneakers etc.).
It’s a good idea to dress for the weather as our warehouse can be cold or hot, depending on the season but all of our classrooms are fitted with heating/cooling for your comfort.
When you book your forklift course with Trainix, we will email you two PDF documents for each course. One file is the ‘Study Guide,’ and the other is the ‘Workbook.’
Before starting your forklift course, you will need to complete the ‘Workbook.’ This is not only a requirement but also helps students achieve better results in the assessments.
Absolutely! Our forklift course is designed for both beginners and experienced operators. In fact, most people can learn to operate a forklift safely within the given time, even if they have no prior experience.
Above all, our trainers have many years of experience in both operating and training. Therefore, they will do everything possible to help you if you encounter any difficulties during the course.
Definitely! Operating a forklift is a key part of the course. Therefore, our trainers will spend plenty of time with you to make sure you operate competently and safely. We also have electric counterbalance forklifts available for practice.
At the beginning of the course, each trainer will give a practical demonstration. This will show you our expectations for safe forklift operation. During your practical training, the trainers will be with you the entire time, offering tips and advice to help you perform safely.
If, for any reason, you are not able to become competent within the allocated time, we can arrange additional time if needed.
Like most workplaces, we will have multiple breaks during the day (morning/lunch/afternoon). Due to the nature of the practical training, there will also be some downtime which means you can use that time however you wish.
We have free coffee/tea available and there is a vending machine on-site. There are also multiple cafes in the area. Just ask your trainer and they will be able to point you in the right direction.
After successfully completing the forklift course, you will receive an email from WorkSafe with your Notice of Assessment (this is also your temporary licence) and instructions on how to apply for your forklift licence. Generally, you should receive this email within 72 hours of completing the course.
Next, you need to apply for your licence either online or at a Post Office within 60 days of completing the course. If you fail to do so, your licence will expire, and you will have to attend another 2-day course at full cost.
In the meantime, you can operate a forklift with your temporary forklift licence (Notice of Assessment) while waiting for your actual licence to be processed. WorkSafe will charge a fee to process your forklift licence.
This fee is determined by WorkSafe, so check the cost at the time of your course, as it may change.
Finally, for more information on the licence application and fees, please visit WorkSafe Victoria’s website.
Once you have completed your forklift licence application and it has been issued, it will be valid for 5 years. Moreover, you will receive notifications from WorkSafe before your licence expires with instructions on how to renew it.
Additionally, you won’t need to complete another course to renew your licence, but you must stay competent in forklift operation. The cost of licence renewal will be determined by WorkSafe at that time.
Therefore, please check WorkSafe Victoria’s website for the current fees, as they may change.
If you do not pass your forklift course, we offer one free re-test for any part of the test where you were deemed ‘not yet competent’ (whether it’s theory, calculations, or practical).
Additionally, we will provide any extra training you need. Furthermore, we will discuss your options with you if you need to be re-assessed.
We run several forklift courses each week. Although we can be busy at certain times of the year, we usually can get you into a course within a week or two.
Not to mention, we offer courses on Fridays and Saturdays most weeks. This can be helpful if you are working during the week.
You can book a course by either calling us on (03) 9369 8823 during work hours (8am – 4pm weekdays), emailing us at info@trainix.com.au or completing a booking form on our ‘Book Now‘ page.
We limit our forklift courses to 6 people maximum. This means everyone gets plenty of time to learn how to operate a forklift.
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have valid photo ID (not expired)
- Have a USI (Unique Student Identifier – http://usi.gov.au)
- Be able to read, write and understand English at Certificate Level 2
While it’s not a requirement, it is highly recommended that you have some type of vehicle/car driving experience as it can be difficult to learn how to operate a forklift without already having basic driving skills.

Once you complete the appropriate forklift certification and get an LF licence, you will be ready to find a job in the industry.
Of course, there are no guarantees in job hunting. However, we ensure you have the necessary skills and knowledge to start your forklift career. Additionally, if you are already employed and want to upgrade your position by getting a forklift licence, we tailor the training to fit your job responsibilities.

It’s important to us that our forklift training students are comfortable when learning. Therefore, we believe this is the best way to achieve great results.
