Real Reviews

Question – Would you recommend FMS to others looking for a forklift licence?

Definitely I would recommend to colleagues and others requiring forklift training. The theory wasn't a chore, the obstacles were well thought out and real industry experience was shared. (The trainer) was a very knowledgable and charismatic trainer. An all round excellent course! 5 Stars!! Cheers
Dario HoggFacilities & OHS Manager, University of Queensland.
Yes, would definitely recommend FMS to others. Simple, Straight-forward course, good trainer, good class size, friendly admin staff, great experience overall.
BebeStrathpine, Compass Group
Yes, the staff and trainers had a good attitude and they had real world experience in the industry.
MitchellLawnton
For sure, (the trainer) puts all students through thorough testing, while making the students feel safe, secure and part of the team. No separation between class and trainer.
Adrian DavenportTugun
Yes because they give good practical knowledge as well as theory and thus would recommend it. Also a great and friendly teacher.
Vijay PaulStafford
The practical was self-paced and allowed you to practice what you felt you needed more work at. I had very little experience on a forklift and was confident in my ability to operate one after the course.
Ryan DelarueShotfirer
Yes, very helpful, (the trainer) know's what he is talking about and is able to show and communicate it well.
