CPCS A17 Telescopic Handler (Experienced Operator, 2 Days) in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire (Classroom)

Two days to sharpen your telehandler skills before the CPCS test

This two-day course is for operators who already work with telescopic handlers and need CPCS A17 certification. Training focuses on ironing out bad habits and preparing you for the technical test rather than teaching the machine from scratch. It covers all sizes of telehandler excluding 360-degree slew machines.

The extra day suits operators who want more refresher time on the machine before testing. A one-day experienced operator route is also available, and if you have limited or no experience of the machine you should book the novice course instead.
