Training and certifications
Want to grow and get more work opportunities? At UBN, you can! Below are some examples you can choose from.
Forklift Certificate
Want to get forklift certification? Operating a forklift requires guidance from an instructor. This is how you learn to drive safely and keep the work environment safe. A forklift certificate shows that you have received expert training. It shows that you know how to operate a forklift and what rules apply. UBN works with a specialized training institute for forklift classes. Important to know:
- Duration: depending on your knowledge, up to 2 days.
- Theory and Practice.
- Certificate valid for 5 years.
- From 16 years of age you may drive with a certificate under supervision, from 18 years of age independently.
Reach truck certificate
Difference forklift and reach truck: Forklifts lift up to 4.5 meters, reach trucks can reach up to 12 meters. A reach truck has one rear wheel in the middle, making the turning radius small. Forklifts have two rear wheels for stability.
- The seating position is different. On a forklift, you sit right behind the landing, facing the lifting mechanism. With a reach truck, you sit a quarter turn. So you have a different field of view.
- With a reach truck, you can only drive indoors. Forklifts have pneumatic tires, which is why they can be used outside and on public roads.
Reach truck training
Like forklift controls, for a reach truck job, it is recommended that you take reach truck training. This will help you avoid accidents, know the hazards and how to work safely.
If you have successfully completed the training, you will receive an officially recognized certificate that you must carry with you on the job. Your reach truck certificate is just like a driver's license for a car, but proof that you are authorized to drive a reach truck.
UBN works with a specialized training institute where you can take reach truck classes or refresher classes. Important to know:
- Length of training depends on your knowledge with driving a reach truck. Maximum time is 2 days.
- The reach truck training includes a theory and a practical part.
- The reach truck certificate is valid for 5 years.
- You may drive a reach truck from age 16 with a reach truck certificate and always under supervision. From 18, you may drive a reach truck independently with a reach truck certificate.
VCA certificate
SCC training is a tool to better comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act. You gain knowledge about safety and gain insight into recognizing unsafe situations. After the training you can better respond to certain situations by taking the right measures to prevent accidents. This makes you aware of health and safety in your workplace.
VAPRO training
