Hi Guys. The main awarding bodies i.e RTITB and ITSSAR recommend a 2 day course for conversion training in compliance with ABFG. But remember what the training and certification is about. Are you prepared to sign a certificate as proof that the candidate has received adequate training ?? (HASWA 1974 section 2) Also as accredited trainers we have to comply with the terms of our accreditation.
Would any of you conduct a 2 day conversion course from counterbalance to electric pallet truck ? I certainly would NOT, but at the end of a one day session the training received will be (in most cases) adequate to the candidates needs.

It depends on the machine type, candidates experience and beleif that we are able to prove we have given adequate training in that time.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
