1. What forklift training courses does Origin Institute offer in Melbourne?
Origin Institute offers nationally recognised forklift training in Melbourne, Victoria, covering two High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) classes:
Forklift Licence (LF) – TLILIC0003: Training to operate conventional forklifts, including counterbalance and reach forklifts.

An LF forklift licence allows you to operate conventional forklift trucks, including counterbalance and reach forklifts commonly used in warehouses, logistics and construction.
