Driver Training · On-Site
On-site forklift training anywhere in Ireland
Our instructor comes to your premises and certifies your operators on your own trucks, in your own aisles, around your own shift pattern — nationwide from Dublin.
Training at your premises
The most realistic training environment is the one your operators work in
Sending operators to a training centre certifies them on someone else's truck, in someone else's building, against hazards they will never meet again. On-site training removes all of that. AWE brings the accredited syllabus, the instructor and the paperwork to your premises, and your team trains on the trucks they drive, in the aisles they work, alongside the pedestrian routes and ramps that actually create the risk. It also removes the travel: no mileage, no overnight stays and no full days lost from the roster for people who only needed a one-day refresher. We deliver nationwide, and we schedule around production — including evenings, night shifts and weekends.
Why on-site
What you get from training in your own building
Trained on your own trucks
Operators certify on the exact machine, mast height and controls they will use on Monday morning — not a generic centre truck.
Your layout, your hazards
Real aisles, real ramps, real pedestrian routes and real racking, so the assessment reflects the risks that actually exist.
No travel, no lost days
Nobody drives across the country to a course. The team stays on site and returns to work the moment the assessment ends.
Scheduled around production
Evening, weekend and shift-pattern delivery so the warehouse keeps moving while operators are certified in groups.
On-site vs training centre
Which makes more sense for your team?
Below two candidates a centre course often wins. Above it, on-site usually does.

| Trained in your own layout | Yes | No |
| Travel time and cost for staff | No | Yes |
| Best for 1 candidate | No | Yes |
| Best for 3+ candidates | Yes | No |
| Out-of-hours scheduling | Yes | No |
| Certificate on the day | Yes | Yes |
