About Our Telehandler & Forklift Courses
Whether you're new to the world of forklift trucks and telehandlers, or you've been using them for years, we have affordable tests and training that will suit your needs and meet legislation requirements. We provide Forklift and/or Telehandler courses in Devon, Dorset and Somerset and throughout Wales.
The HSE also recommends that any certificate is refreshed every three to five years, depending on the industry. We provide telehandler and forklift refresher training courses throughout the UK and from our bases in Devon and Wales.
Whatever your business, we'll do our best to be flexible around your needs. You can come to our sites for the forklift truck training or telehandler training in Devon and Wales, or we’ll come to you. Plus, we’ll fit the course around your schedule, whether that’s working around feeding time, or the kids’ school holidays. Just let us know what suits you.
Please note: Loading Shovels (wheeled, tracked or skid steer), require a separate certificated course from Forklift Trucks. These are available from Hush Farms on request.

The Legal Bit
Let's face it, there are rules and regulations that all operators now have to meet, whether you're a volunteer, you're employed or you're self-employed... Whether you're using forklift trucks or telehandlers in the workplace, you have to be able to prove that you've had the right training for the specific machine from a qualified person, in operations, safety and appropriate working conditions.
