AITT-accredited forklift licence training for UK businesses
Thousands of people search for a “forklift licence” every month — and it’s worth knowing that in the UK there’s technically no government-issued forklift licence like a driving licence. What employers, insurers and the HSE actually look for is accredited operator training and certification to the standards in HSE’s L117 Approved Code of Practice. That certificate is what people mean by a forklift licence — and it’s exactly what our courses provide.
MHE Train & Test delivers forklift licence training through a nationwide network of fully insured, AITT-accredited instructors and examiners. We come to your premises and train on your own equipment, in your real working environment — fully in line with HSE L117 and PUWER.
Courses are scheduled around your shifts and busy periods, with transparent daily-rate pricing and no hidden charges — and a free, same-day quote whenever you’re ready.
Alongside this course we provide counterbalance forklift training, reach truck training, telehandler training, Teletruk training and more — each available as novice, experienced, conversion, refresher training. Whether you’re searching for AITT forklift training or comparing forklift training courses, our instructors can help.

Is there such a thing as a forklift licence?
When you complete accredited training with us, you receive AITT-accredited operator certification for the specific truck type you trained on — counterbalance, reach truck, telehandler or Teletruk. That certification is recognised by employers and health & safety inspectors across the UK and is the industry-standard evidence of basic operator training.
Whether you’re an individual who needs a “forklift licence” to get warehouse work, or an employer who must evidence operator training under L117 and PUWER, the route is the same: novice training if you’re new, an experienced-operator assessment if you’ve driven before, or a refresher if your certificate has aged. We deliver all of them on-site, UK-wide.
Is your team legally covered?
If an operator can’t show valid, in-date certification, your business may not be compliant. We’ll help you close that gap quickly with on-site training across the UK.
Ideal for UK warehouses, yards & sites
Our forklift licence training suits a wide range of UK workplaces, including:
- Job seekers needing certification for warehouse roles
- Experienced but never-certificated drivers
- Employers formalising legacy operators
- Agencies certificating their driver pools
