Launched in July 2016 as a joint venture between the FLTA and the British Industrial Truck Association, F-TEC is the UK’s only dedicated fork lift training centre for engineers and technicians and addresses widespread concerns that too many courses were being delivered by individuals or organisations neither accredited nor monitored for quality.
Since opening its doors, F-TEC has increased the number of apprentices joining its courses by introducing an additional intake that is not restricted to the academic year. The success rate among apprentices is a very impressive 95%.
FLTA Chief Executive, Peter Harvey, said: “By any measure, F-TEC has proved a huge success and continues to surpass expectations.”
