The Forklift (F) endorsement course only covers driver licencing requirements, allowing you to operate a forklift on a road.  
We also offer the Forklift Safety (OSH) Certificate course, allowing you to operate a forklift in a workplace (renewable every three years).

We recommend that you complete a Forklift Safety course at the same time as the (F) endorsement to cover both driver licencing and health and safety obligations.
An (F) Drivers Licence endorsement is needed to operate a forklift on a road. (Unit standard 18496). A pre-requisite is that the trainee must hold a current full driver's licence, minimum Class 1 (car)
The licence endorsement and the licence class systems work together, your licence has to cover both the type of vehicle and the weight of the vehicle you are driving
​A Class 1 licence with an (F) endorsement covers a forklift with a gross laden weight of up to 18,000kg. A Class 2 licence with an (F) endorsement covers a forklift with gross laden weight of more than 18,000kg
