If it was possible to give 0 stars, I would.

The trainer, Rob, started by, dismissively telling me he had me down as “cancelled. When I mentioned my job provided by name, he scoffed, making derogatory remarks about them.

He begrudging let me set up etc. while continuing to talk to me me in a rough, rude, dismissive tone. As each student arrived, his smiles were definitely for the men in the class! Except the young Asian woman, whom he gave all the answers too, while the rest of the class worked through the theory.

Halfway through theory, Rob, seeing that I was viable uncomfortable and shaking instigated I read out the next question to spare the Asian girl. I was sitting right in front of him, so there was no way he missed my physical symptoms.

We broke for morning tea at this time, I waiting for Rob the trainer to have a break and then went to talk to him, explaining that I have Raynaud’s Syndrome (a blood circulatory system issue) which is extremely painful in cold, so the aircon was smashing me in the training room. I was actually apologetic, saying I may not do as well because of it. All he said was “well it’s not cold where I’m sitting”… (he was sitting in front if a full window with the sun shining through onto him… I was seated just under the air conditioning unit.

He continued to ask me to read out loud, knowing the pain I was struggling against.

Then came the practical….

I could have made this whole review just on the physical training!

I may have a syndrome, but I have strong mental fortitude and can push through crazy thinks like extreme obstacle courses, or other licences or training successfully.

Rob, this grub of a man, from the moment the student I was paired with (tall quiet lovely Māori guy), he treated us differently. Grumbling to himself about being behind time, he SKIPPED OVER all the physical pre-checks we’re supposed to be being taught and, in a rude tone, ordered us into a forklift vehicle each.

The hand break was very hard to shift - actually felt like it was sticking - I looked up to tell Rob, only to be yelled at for not listening. He was, however, talking with his back partially to me, so I wasn’t aware the instructions were even for me?!

This physical test continued like this. I tried to ask a question, I’d get yelled at that I’d already been told (which at times was true - there aaa a Lot to take in, most times he had not told me).

Rob, then stopped giving me instructions at all, as apparently I was “talking back” to him. I pleaded with him that “I was just asking questions”, but the more frustrated I got, the more aggressive Rob became, he was enjoying watching me suffer - that had become super obvious to me and the other student.

At the end, I was told to lower a pallet to the ground, reverse and that was all the instruction I got. When I realised I might graze the pallet next to mine, I asked, very timidly, as I was already shaking from this ordeal of Rob’s training methods, “how do I best straighten up?” The answer I got hurled at me from across the garage “I’m not one in charge of the machine, you are” when I said I was asking for help: I waa YELLED at “I’VE TO YOU FORTY TIMES” - which was yelling at me four times in a row.

Rob the “trainer” then turned to the other student who was sitting at a table by now and gave him instructions on what to do next, in a nice, quiet, polite and encouraging way.

When I reached the table, all Rob had to say was “do what I told him” then he walked inside and told everyone to go on lunch - he knew I was there and didn’t hear what to do.

Rob terrified me to the point that I was shaking and crying and could not bring myself to stay and complete the course.

I called and spoke to the manager “Joshua”, all his response was “whaddu what me to do about it”, then he hung up, saying something about women whinging.

I did the forklift course over the last 2 days, the trainer Rob was a really good teacher, taught the course very well .
Did the 2-day course, only do a 2-day course if you know you can retain lots of information and don't circum to pressure when doing the test because can be very stressful for some, other than that. Just like to let you know the instructor we had was excellent to have, he was informative and helpful. He prepared us very well.

As someone without prior knowledge about operating a forklift, ModSkills training have been a great experience for me. Rob Ogilvie was thorough, concise and clear with the theoretical part of the training. He was also encouraging and supportive on the practical side which really boost my confidence as a first timer. The location was well situated and the equipment in tip top conditions. All in all I had a wonderful time learning & get to enjoy the otherwise stressful and nerve-wracking experience.

FAQs

Are you wondering how to obtain a forklift licence? Mod Skills+ (Talented Training: RTO 45144) is here to guide and assist you!

As Brisbane’s leading RTO offering forklift training courses and other industry training, our crew often responds to inquiries about getting started with forklift operations. That’s why we created these FAQ’s—to provide answers to some common questions related to the necessary preparation, the kind of licence available, and the process involved in obtaining your desired permit.

To lawfully obtain a forklift licence in Australia, you must be at least 18 years old.

No – Even if you’re a beginner, you can get your forklift license! All you need to do is take an approved course from a registered training organisation and receive a statement of attainment. After that, simply visit the WH&S authority in your area and obtain your plastic wallet card – easy as that!

  • Minimum 18 years of age
  • Basic knowledge and understanding of English (written and verbal)
  • Have at least a Year 10 level of numeracy, literacy and communication skills
  • Provide three (3) matching original evidence of identity documents (see this link and read the “What types of evidence do I need to provide?” section above for details)
  • Please note that arriving without this ID will result in you being turned away from the course
  • Arrive in suitable PPE: Safety boots, long pants and a high-vis shirt
  • Complete the pre-course study and assessment questions
  • Contact us at 07 3375 5822 or info@modskills.com.au.
  • If English is your second language, you must advise us at the time of booking. Contact our Sales and Service Team on 07 3375 5822 to determine your eligibility to undertake this training. We will assist you in any way we can, but due to the demands of the assessment process, do not guarantee that every applicant will possess the level of LLN required for the assessment.
  • You will require at least a Year 10 level of numeracy, literacy and communication skills. If you have any doubts, please let us know so we can assist you.
  • The Regulator does not allow an interpreter to be used during the mandated formal assessment.

Most people think about forklifts as the standard order picking forklift that you’d see in warehouses. But there are different types of licences for different types of forklifts, referred to as an LF licence and a LO licence.

The distinguishing factor that sets an LO Licence apart from an LF Licence is the kind of vehicle it permits you to operate.

Possessing an LF licence permits you to operate any type of forklift truck, excluding a load-shifting order picking truck (or LO classified vehicle). An LO licence will only allow you to operate a load-shifting order picker and a VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) truck, more commonly known as “turret truck”.

A standard forklift truck is complete with a pair of fork tynes that can be elevated up to 9m in the air, facilitating the effortless and secure transfer of bulky or numerous boxes in any warehouse. The forklift is operated from the driver’s seat and steering wheel and doesn’t require the driver to be elevated at any point or attached to a harness.

The operation of an LO picking truck, on the other hand, requires the driver to wear a harness because the operator’s platform rises and lowers to enable the driver to pick stock at varying levels up to 10m.

If you are interested in advancing your career with a warehouse, transport or logistics role, either of these licenses would be the perfect place to begin. With one or even both of these certifications under your belt, it’s easy to open up new job possibilities and launch yourself into success!

Mod Skills+ Talented Training provides 2-day courses for either the LF or LO tickets for an amazing price. Book online now or contact one of our friendly staff members and get skilled today! Both courses will show you how to plan work and conduct routine checks, shift loads, shut down and secure the forklift trucks, and they both equip you with a High Risk Work license.
