How Do EDB Training Classes Align With QLD Law? 

All forklift operations in Queensland require a valid licence according to state laws. Operating a forklift does not grant automatic legal permission even for those who have extensive experience without holding an active  High Risk Work Licence (HRWL). Students need to complete official forklift training with a Registered Training Organisation (like EDB) before they can apply for their WorkSafe Queensland HRWL.

The required course is: TLILIC0003 – Licence to Operate a Forklift Truck

After completing your training and assessment we will give you the needed documents to submit your HRWL application on WorkSafe Queensland's website. The approved forklift licence becomes valid for five years throughout all Australian territories.

Our forklift training classes provide students with practical operating skills and the necessary knowledge for safe work performance on-site. Our training program teaches both theoretical knowledge and practical forklift operation to ensure students develop proper handling abilities.

Here’s what we cover:

• The course includes teaching students to identify safety hazards as well as the proper techniques for checking safety equipment.
• Load stability, stacking, and movement
• Pre-start inspections and shutdown procedures
• Forklift driving in tight spaces
• Risk management and workplace safety laws
• Everything required under Queensland’s WHS regulations

Students learn from trainers who teach complex topics through simple explanations. Our training sessions adapt to your existing knowledge to provide the necessary education for building authentic confidence.

Forklift Training Classes That Work Around Your Life

Everyone does not have a standard 9–5 work schedule. The training sessions run on weekdays and weekends to accommodate students who want to attend classes during times that match their personal schedule. The standard training period for most students spans two days which includes all required training and assessment activities. If you need extra time or require additional flexibility please let us know because we will work together to find a solution. The proximity of our training facility to Wynnum enables students to integrate their training into their weekly schedule without wasting time on commuting or disrupting their existing commitments.
