What is the NVQ Level 2 Plant Operations Course?

This NVQ Level 2 Plant Operations – Fork-Lift Trucks course has been devised for fork-lift truck drivers working in the construction industry. Upon completion, learners will have achieved NVQ level 2. It’s a qualification that recognised across the industry as competency-based and dependable. With it, you’ll be able to demonstrate that you can drive a fork-lift truck to the standard expected by the industry.
