Due to the relatively short nature of the CPCS Telescopic Handler training course all delegates attending should have had some prior history of Telehandler operation, if this is not the case then candidates should look at completing the full novice Telehandler training course first.

*There are four different categories of Telehandler A17 candidates should ensure that they are on the correct course prior to attendance.

Delegates should inform their trainer if they have any serious health issues, physical problems, special considerations or are taking any medication, which may create difficulties in undertaking elements of this training course.
