5. Will one certificate cover an operator for all trucks ?

No.  Certification will only cover an operator for the piece of equipment that they have undergone training for.  For instance a counterbalance licence will not cover an operator for a reach truck.

8. Can training be completed on our company premises ?

Yes.  On-site training is a good idea; it gives operators practice in the working environment.  Sufficient room must be given for practical off job training.  If you are unsure of the room required please contact CB Training.
