"Really enjoy the training facilities and the instructors are very experienced and helpful."

Short, straightforward review, and it sums up exactly what we aim for. A proper training centre, and instructors who know what they're doing and take the time to explain it properly.

"Got my son to do the forklift training here. They were amazing really, though, with the explanation, very comfortable environment, excellent teaching standard. And the best thing, my son got a job straight away. Thank you guys at DW."

This is exactly why we love September. A parent trusting us with their son's next step, and him walking out the other side straight into work. If your son or daughter has just turned 18 and finished college, this could be their next move too.

Equipment spotlight: the Reach Truck.

Built for narrow-aisle warehouses, the reach truck lets operators lift pallets several metres higher than a standard counterbalance, which is exactly why it's one of the most requested skills by Midlands warehouse employers right now.

If you're serious about maximising your job options after training, pairing Reach Truck with Counterbalance is a smart combination.

The Midlands logistics sector has a hiring problem, and it's not going away.

Warehouses across Birmingham and the wider Midlands are struggling to fill operator roles, while thousands of college leavers enter the job market every September unsure where to start. Forklift training sits right in that gap: an RTITB-accredited course that turns an unqualified 18-year-old into a candidate employers actively want.

It's one of the few remaining routes into steady, well-paid work that doesn't require a degree or years of experience.

First day nerves don't stop at 18.

Walking into a training centre you've never been to, to operate machinery you've never touched, is daunting, however old you are. We know some of our trainees haven't set foot in anything resembling a classroom since they left college, and that's completely fine.

Small groups, patient instructors, and a course built to take you from zero to confident, not to catch you out.

If you're thinking about it but feeling nervous, message us. We'd rather answer your questions before you book than have you sit at home worrying about it.

Everyone else is buying pencil cases this week. You could be starting a career instead.

If you've just left college, finished your A-levels, or turned 18 this year and you're wondering what's next, forklift training could be the fastest route from "what now?" to "hired." Our Counterbalance, Reach Truck and Powered Pallet Truck courses run throughout September right here in Birmingham.

You need to be 18 or over to train with us, but that's the only bar. No experience needed, no CV padding required. Just the will to learn.

Let’s bust the biggest myth we hear every single week! ❌

"I’ve never driven a forklift or a car before, so I probably can't do the course."

Truth is, over 70% of the trainees who walk through our doors in Birmingham and Leicester have never touched machine controls in their lives. Our novice courses start right from square one, teaching you steering, controls, safety, and loading at a comfortable pace.

By test day, muscle memory takes over and confidence follows. What’s the main thing holding you back from giving it a go?
