Course Delivery

At Premier Standards, we understand the importance of scheduling training around your existing work demands, so we offer flexible, blended learning options that combine online theory with practical, hands-on training using industry-standard front end loaders.

The theory component of this course is completed online, allowing students to study at their own pace and in the comfort of their own home. Once the theory is complete (approximately 4 hours, plus additional time for reading resource materials), students attend a practical training and assessment day at our Virginia Training Centre. Here, they receive hands-on training using industry-standard wheeled front end loaders before completing a practical assessment to demonstrate safe and competent operation in a real-world environment. Generally, there will be one to two students per machine to ensure personalised instruction and ample operating time.

Onsite training and assessment can also be arranged for employers who wish to have staff trained at their workplace, provided suitable equipment and facilities are available. Whether onsite or at our facility, training is conducted by qualified trainers and assessors with extensive industry experience and current vocational competencies.

Travis Hancock

I found Premier Standards to have a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The admin staff were extremely helpful getting me the best deal with chosen machinery and with the initial setup of accounts theory and all communication's. I'd recommend this company for training as it provided me all I seeked and the eagerness to do more.

Tea Smith

Really great RTO - I felt I developed a good knowledge base and got to spend as much time as needed to acquire the practical skills, in a structured but relaxed environment. Thanks to Greg who was an awesome tutor and very patient when teaching 🙂 Would definitely recommend and would consider sitting other licenses here!

Last week I have completed a forklift course with Premier Standards. The whole experience, 3 days of it, totally exceeded my expectations. From the initial booking, communication, facilities, great equipment, dedicated and knowledgeable instructors to plenty of practice using different kinds of forklifts - it was great. Everyone there is friendly, helpful and want you to do your best. I highly recommend this school for forklift, truck or heavy machinery training.
