Course Certificates
MHE Onsite Training issues site-specific certificates of competence. These are not RTITB-accredited certificates, but they are fully recognized within your organization and by HSE inspection. Certificates state clearly that training was delivered by an RTITB L3 Certified & Registered instructor and covers HSE ACOP L117 competencies.
Why site-specific? Because all training is delivered on-site with your equipment and your site-specific rules. Certificates reflect the actual forklift and working environment your operators will use every day.
