Attention: Helen
(from) Arif ‘K’ ….
In June 2020 I enrolled in a COVE Training Course in order to obtain my HR Truck Licence. I was very impressed with my Instructor, Mark, and through his clear and patient instructions I was able to successfully obtain my HR Licence. Following the above-named success I then enrolled in the 3-day Forklift Licence Course with Instructor Frank – once again another excellent COVE Instructor!
As I now have both my HR and Forklift Licences I feel confident of obtaining employment. Many thanks to both Mark, Noam and COVE Training for their excellent Instructors.
