Instructor Training

We offer a variety of courses for companies wishing to benefit from the advantages of having their own instructor - a method that offers great freedom in designing the course.

Here is an overview of the instructor courses we are offering at present.

Instructor Training Step 1

The course provides the factual knowledge and teaching skills needed to train forklift operators. To attend the course, you must have taken MA-system's basic forklift operator course, or an equivalent course. Anyone who has attended the instructor course has the right (upon receiving clearance from the employer) to train forklift operators at his own company.

Miscellaneous
We recommend that alumni from this course follow up as soon as possible with the continuing course, Practice in Practice, which gives the opportunity of applying and deepening one's teaching skills.

There is an array of continuing courses for forklift instructors, all of which provide up-to-date knowledge of technology, regulations etc. They also provide better teaching skills, both concerning how to plan a lesson and how to handle the teacher-student dialog. In addition, each continuing course concentrates on a specific area.

Continuing Courses
There is no obligation to take the courses in the order that they are listed, but we recommend participants to take the Continued teaching skills course before the In-Depth course.

Practice in Practice Step 2
