NVQ Description
NVQs in Plant and Lifting Operations are competency-based qualifications used to demonstrate your experience and skill in a specific type of Plant machinery or lifting on a live site.
Our Level 2 NVQ Certificate in Plant Operations, Fork-lift Trucks (Telehandler), is designed to assess your competence across varying aspects of preparing and operating a Telehandler required for general transporting and transfer of loads in Construction.
Telehandler Operators work closely alongside other transporting Plant Operators on a construction site to ensure that all movement operations are carried out safely.
