A17C
TELEHANDLER

Course content varies depending on the category and level of experience of the operator (as to whether they have selected a Foundation or Experienced Worker course).

​

• A typical novice A17 CPCS telehandler course would include both theoretical and practical training such as machine operation, safe loading, maintenance and relevant legislation.

• A typical experienced worker course would include only the theoretical aspects of training.

The Foundation/Novice course is longer to allow for practical training and further in-depth theory.
