Telehandler Operator Training Edmonton | Touchback Safety
Course Overview
Our Telehandler Operator Training course runs 4 to 6 hours. Upon successful completion, we issue a certificate that is valid for 3 years.
The Telehandler is also known as a Zoomboom. Because it is a versatile and powerful piece of equipment, proper training is essential for safe operation on any worksite.
Entry Requirements
Participants must hold a valid Driver’s License to register for this course. However, if you do not have a valid Driver’s License, you can show proof of a previous Telehandler or Forklift Operator ticket that is valid within the last 2 years.
Please bring the appropriate documentation on the day of your course.
Blended Learning — Coming Soon
We are bringing Blended Learning to this course soon. Blended learning combines online theory with hands-on practical training. Therefore, it will be ideal for workers who already have prior experience operating telehandlers.
However, new workers will benefit more from our full Instructor Led course. So if your team is new to telehandler operation, we recommend the instructor led option.
