UDT/TDT and WDT authorisations for lifting machines
Experienced and young people alike are opting to become certified and are looking for jobs as UDT operators, including forklifts.
Our company offers training for these and other machines subject to the UDT. We conduct open and closed training courses throughout Poland. Below we outline what conditions a prospective trainee must meet and what the training looks like.
In order to be able to enrol at all in a training course to gain a forklift licence, you need to meet a few requirements:
- be at least 18 years old,
- have a minimum of basic education,
- provide a certificate that there are no health objections to the job
Open training
A schedule of current open training courses is available on our website. The courses are aimed at anyone interested in the powers in question.
Closed training courses
Employers and organised groups who are interested in organising a closed course are welcome to contact us. We offer travel to a location to be determined together with the customer and an individually tailored training programme with the possibility of extending it. We can conduct the theoretical part of the course remotely or directly, depending on the customer's preference.
If in doubt, please feel free to contact us.
