We offer NZQA-approved training for:

Whether you’re just starting out or need a refresher, we have a course to suit your experience level.
We are now based at 118 Dalbeth Road, Ngongotaha, Rotorua 3096.
Training can be completed on-site at our location or at your workplace (subject to suitability).
Not at all! Our OSH Forklift Operators Certificate Course is suitable for beginners, while we also offer refresher courses for experienced operators and F endorsements for those needing to drive forklifts on a road.
Course durations vary:
- Forklift OSH Certificate: 1–2 days
- Heavy Vehicle Licences: Up to 2 days for Class 2–5 time reduction courses
- WTR Endorsements: Approximately 4 hours (depending on skill level)
We aim to deliver efficient, competency-based training without unnecessary delays.
You’ll need to:
- Hold a current learner licence for the class you’re applying for
- Provide a valid medical certificate
- Have some experience driving on NZ roads (particularly for Class 2 and above)
We’ll guide you through what’s required for each course before you enrol.
Yes, in most cases you can provide your own compliant vehicle for assessment, which can also reduce course costs. Alternatively, we can supply a vehicle for training.
Absolutely. We work with businesses across the region to train multiple staff. We can deliver training at your site or ours, depending on what’s best for your team.
Costs vary depending on the course and whether you’re supplying your own vehicle. For example:
- Forklift OSH Certificate from $260–$550 (incl. GST)
- Class 2–5 Licence courses from $1,020–$1,925 (incl. GST)
All prices include NZQA credit fees. Medical or licensing agency fees are not included.
On successful completion, you’ll receive an NZTA-approved certificate that you take to a licensing agent (e.g. AA or VTNZ) to have the licence or endorsement added.
Some forklift courses also include an OSH Operators Certificate, valid for 3 years.
