RTITB eTruck (Face to Face)
Course Description
Traditionally, forklift theory training is done by Instructors in a classroom, taking 2 days on average, before around 3 days of practical lift truck training. However, with eTruck candidates complete their theory training by working through a story online at their own pace before arriving for their practical learning. This mean less time downtime for operators. The eTruck story-based learning solution from RTITB also makes it easier for a Lift Truck Instructor to deliver practical forklift operator training efficiently. Having arrived at practical training with an understanding of the basic principles of operation and standard industry terms, candidates are ready to get started, all because of something they saw or heard in a story. This can save Instructors time they would otherwise spend bringing learners up to speed. Please not that the eTruck courses require a practical element and this will need to carried out your site / place of work.
