My work put me through forklift training six years ago and a refresher course last year for a…read morecounterbalance forklift. The training consisted of watching a health and safety dvd and a short multiple choice test and the practical test on the third day and practical experience was on a three days. The practical test involved lifting and stacking pallets and going through a course made of pallets standing on their sides to form a right and left turn, the object was to drive through with pallets on the forks set them down and reverse back through then drive through and bring them back on the forks. Two people I work with failed and the examiner tried his hardest to help them but they both hadn't driven anything before not even a car and I think nerves got the better of them, in fairness to the examiner he made the right decision as you need to be safe above anything else. The forklift license covers you anywhere you work though my work being sneaky claimed it doesn't, as they paid for it they won't give me it. My advice is pay for any training you get for any job and keep hold of whatever license or qualifications you gain.

Terrible driving school worst in N.I!!!…read more - My driving teacher smoked in the car on a break! -Like to take numerous coffee breaks -Not very friendly -Basically wasted my time and money and i shortly found a better instructor. My advice don't bother with this company. The owner does not seem to care when you call him about your issues.

I called Car College because my usual instructor could no longer make my driving test date so I…read moreasked Car College if they could take me for a lesson and I could use the car for my test on the same day. I've had lots of lessons and am ready to go. Cocky smug lad on the phone said "Nobody would let you have the car without seeing you drive first". I explained that I've had lessons and that they would see me drive before my lesson. "No No! Nobody would let you do that!". One phone call later to the next company and I was all booked in under 3 minutes. Losers. :)
