Inhouse Forklift License?
The firm that I used to work for had me trained up for reach and counterbalance forklifts which has only left me with inhouse licenses. What is the process I have to now take to get them turned into full licenses? Would I have to go down to a test centre and do a full 5 day course? Even though I have over two years experience on both?

No such thing as a FLT licence, Sean.
Although did you receive a certificate of some type when you did your inhouse training.

Thank you for the answers fellas. I have been looking at vacancies and they're all saying you require a license. I was never given any paperwork by my old firm when I did it so I assume anything that I earned was held on site by my employer. Surely there has to be a certificate? Otherwise I can't start applying for any of these jobs.
Basically I left that firm last year to start a Plumbing apprenticeship at the late age of 23. I am now being told that the firm I work for is going into liquidation. So I have been looking around for another firm that could take me on as a 2nd year apprentice but have had no luck as these vacancies are very scarce. Plus I don't really fit the criteria that these firms ask for. So it has left me with the option to go back to what I used to do but obviously the firm I used to do driving for has all their FLT driver spots filled. So need to get myself into another firm but cant do so until I know whether I have the correct certification or not. This job will then be my lead up to what I actually want to be doing in the end which is being a Telehandler Operator. I just need this next FLT job to keep my money going until I can afford to pay for my next course.
I am still currently employed but the firm is right on the brink of liquidation so it's only a matter of time now. I have the relevant experience for the job as I have done it before it's just whether or not I have the right certification. I have heard of the job centre doing that before so it may be worth me looking into this also for plan b.
