Across NSW, 59 providers offer the forklift licence, often called a forklift ticket, with prices ranging from $295 to $940 and courses typically running 1 to 4 days depending on prior experience.
A forklift licence is a high-risk work licence (class LF) needed by anyone operating a forklift on an Australian worksite. Training combines theory and practical assessment, conducted by an accredited assessor, and results in a licence issued by SafeWork NSW.
The licence is valid for 5 years before renewal. Providers listed here range from small local trainers to larger colleges, with course length often depending on whether you already have forklift experience. For those renewing skills rather than gaining a first licence, refresher training is available from $150.
