A Training Day with a Difference

At Wight Training Services, no two courses are ever quite the same. While the Novice forklift course provides the solid foundation every operator needs, real workplace tasks often call for extra skills. That’s exactly what happened at Wight Building Materials, where Tom and Terry not only nailed their core forklift training but also took on the challenge of handling the Block Grab attachment.

Job-Specific Training Matters

What makes on-site training stand out is the ability to tailor the course to the exact needs of the business. At Wight Building Materials, that meant adding Block Grab training to ensure Tom and Terry were fully prepared for the real-world tasks they’ll face every day. This specialised attachment requires precision and care, and both operators rose to the challenge with flying colours.

Another Two Certificates Earned

By the end of the course, Tom and Terry had not only achieved their forklift truck certificates but also gained practical skills that directly translate into safer, more efficient working. It’s this mix of accredited training and job-specific focus that makes Wight Training Services the go-to choice for businesses across the Isle of Wight.
