A new Western Australian forklift training facility aims to address the growing demand for operators in the state
A new purpose-built training facility has opened in Welshpool, Perth, offering nationally accredited forklift training and various other industry programs.
Nara Training and Assessing’s (Nara) new facility aims to address the growing demand for forklift operators in Western Australia.
The forklift training course at Welshpool has increased Nara’s capacity, which was previously limited to its nearby Forrestfield location.
“Nara is excited to launch our dedicated warehousing training facility in Welshpool, placing us even closer to the heart of Western Australia’s transport and logistics hub,” Nara head of education and training Ryan Piggott says.
“Industry-essential courses, including our forklift ticket, will now be delivered from our Welshpool campus, making training more accessible than ever for businesses and workers in the area.”
Nationally accredited forklift training will run weekly from the Welshpool facility, with training continuing at Nara’s original training facility in Bunbury, which expanded to a second building last year due to ongoing demand.
Nara’s forklift course fees are fully inclusive, covering the passport photo, WorkSafe licence fee and the lodgement to WorkSafe. Participants don’t need to arrange or pay for anything additional.
The first forklift training session at Welshpool has already been complete, with the session having been fully booked out, Nara says.
