My experience with TL training has been fantastic, my first visit was to complete a refresher course on a counterbalance and my second visit was a 2 week RTITB instructor course with Ian Tedd, the place has a really relaxed but safe training environment, and occasionally the director Trev would make time to pop in and check in, fantastic outfit and well run by all involved, couldn’t recommend a better place for all your training needs. Thanks again TL training

Excellent instructors and great training site. Had the pleasure of doing my novice FLT course with Gwynn, who was very patient with me and the two other people on the course, he gave us all the information we needed to pass first time, great banter too. One of the best instructors I've received training from. Recommend this place to anyone looking for the training they offer.

Highly recommend TL Training as I passed my HGV class 1 licence through them. Many thanks to Dave who planned the training and thanks to Craig the training instructor. I found Craig to be an excellent and knowledgeable instructor who was amiable, relaxed and patient throughout all of my training. Thank you so much.

Recently undertook my Forklift training with ‘TL Training’. J.S was our instructor for the duration of the 4 day course, who’s highly knowledgeable and was happy to answer any questions or issue we had regarding the training. The course given was excellent and j.s was highly approachable all week. I Would massively recommend anyone to come to TL Training who has a course/training programme that they need to complete.
