Hi all, i'm italian guy of 23 that come in australia for a long travel (and improve/learn english).

I have see (in the government website) that in Australia there is a lot of request for Forklift Operator (or better for Plant operator).

I want ask, it's possible for one Foreigner with WHV visa take the Forklift license? If yes, you know (+ or -) how much? (i've see training course at 350$/day but i don't have understand if are only training or give me also the license.)

The request for skilled operator is thrue that is high/good?

I have 6 year experience on Forklift (petrol and electric, automatic and not) and Earthmoving Machinery...also as a mechanic.

Sorry for the quantity of questions but i have read a lot of different opinion that a forum of australian forklift professionist sounds like Eldorado.
