Initially was told I'd need a 5 day course/test, now as I'm experienced (40 years of driving alsorts of equipment)
It's been reduced to 2 days , more bureaucratic tick boxing bs , it seems a ticket for a larger forklift isn't acceptable for a little 3 wheel electric job.
How long before some genius decides we need a ticket to drive a tractor . Be fun taking a test for every different Implement on the back.
Where will all this end , it gets worse every year. More tickets, more hoops.
Outfit down road wanted a man cage for forklift thought it would be safer than using a ladder, But on investigation they found forklift would need a check every 6 months, driver needs extra ticket , with all the extra hoops and expense they decided not to bother , carry on with ladder.
But it seems you can hire a cherry picker without having a ticket ??? We really are funked.
