Was a really good learning experience.
Assessor explained really well how to drive safely and reasons for each technique I was taught. Highly recommend doing truck licence here.
LF Forklift Licence
Bob the Trainer was straight forward encouraging and a top bloke who wanted us to do well, and kept giving us feedback on all aspects of the Licence.
Over all I was very happy with COVE Training they allowed us enough time for both theory and practical. Bob the trainer made learning and asking questions easy which put my stress levels at ease.
I would recommend them to anyone wanting to obtain a LF forklift Licence
Very good teacher
