Training Across Skelmersdale’s Industrial Areas
We support employers across Skelmersdale, including businesses based around Gladden Place, Gillibrands Industrial Estate, Gorsey Place and Stanley Industrial Estate.
Courses are delivered at customer premises, allowing the instructor to relate training to the equipment, workplace layout and loads operators encounter on the job.
Build a Course Around Your Equipment

Training Levels Explained
Different operators may require different courses even when they use the same equipment.
- Novice training is for someone with no previous formal training or operating experience.
- Experienced operator training may suit someone with sufficient practical experience but no recognised evidence of training.
- Conversion training is for a trained operator changing equipment category.
- Refresher training supports previously trained operators who require reassessment or updated instruction.
We will review the operator’s background before confirming the course.

Managing Training Across Shifts
Warehousing and manufacturing businesses may need to release operators from different shifts without unnecessarily disrupting production.
Subject to availability, courses can be discussed around:
- Weekday operations
- Weekend requirements
- Day and night-shift patterns
- Different operator experience levels
- Multiple equipment categories
- Planned refresher programmes
Learner numbers must remain appropriate so every operator receives sufficient practical time.
Site Requirements
The employer will normally need to provide:
- Safe and serviceable equipment
- Manufacturer operating instructions
- A controlled practical training area
- Representative workplace loads
- Relevant attachments
- Appropriate personal protective equipment
We will confirm what is required before the instructor attends.
