Forklift F Endorsement
For operators that already have an OSH certificate & just need an F endorsement
This course will give you unit standard 18496 once you have passed the online theory and the final theory and practical assessments. It has been updated for the latest unit standard released in 2024.
With unit standard 18496 you can get an F endorsement on your full class 1 NZ driver licence and drive a forklift on the road.
The theory modules should take around 40 minutes and the final assessment (theory and practical) will take around 1.5 hours.
