Forklift Training

BG certificate of competence for driving a forklift truck

The BG certificate of qualification is aimed at persons who wish to acquire the right to drive a forklift truck. The legal requirement is given by the DGUV regulation 68.

For this course, spoken and written German is required.

The forklift training usually lasts 1 day (from 8:00 a.m. to around 16:30 p.m.). Depending on the previous knowledge of the operator, a 2nd day of training may be required. The training is divided into theoretical and practical instruction. The practical part takes place with a classic counterbalanced truck (front forklift) instead. Successful course participants receive a certificate of competency for the operation of counterbalanced forklifts (frontloaders). We are also happy to arrange appointments at short notice according to your wishes. At least 6 participants per training day are required. During a training course in our house, the participants are fully catered for.

Training language:

The course is conducted in German as standard, so good knowledge of spoken and written German is essential. With a group size of 8 participants, we also offer the training in Polish. Alternatively, with this group size, you can hire an interpreter who will simultaneously translate the course into your desired language. It is important here that the interpreter is familiar with the translation of specialist and technical terms used in the forklift truck industry. The interpreter cannot be a participant in the course at the same time. If you have any further questions on this subject, please do not hesitate to contact us on 02304 / 933 – 588 or by e-mail to [email protected].

This certificate of qualification is only valid within Germany. There is no expiration date.
