    Absolutely loved it.Kudos to my assessor Nate, he was very patient with me going very slow on the exam. Wish they didn't take much time to mark the knowledge exam though, but it is what it is.Practical training and the exam was one day apart so wish we had a bit more time before the exam to brush up. The knowledge exam required a bit of cramming to be done so make sure you have good memory and a good night's sleep before the exam. I forgot the name of my trainer on the first day but he was also a top bloke.One small area of improvement would be the coffee machine needs coffee pods and most of the milk in the fridge was 3 days expired. I notified the office and they got rid of it (still had more milk that wasn't expired so it's all good). Cheers ✌️😀

    Thoroughly enjoyed my training experience at their Ferntree Gully location. Both trainers (I think it was Nev and Nath, sorry if I got that wrong) were exceptional in their approach to teaching all trainees the necessities and safety aspects of operating fork lifts in the workplace. Patient, professional and highly knowledgeable.

    I was actually pretty nervous about operating the forklift at first, but Nathan was a massive help. He’s really patient and doesn't make you feel stupid for asking questions. He gave me some great tips on safety and steering that clicked right away. 10/10 instructor.
