Every one of those roles needs an assessed, competent person. EES delivers operator, rigger and signaller training at your yard or site, scheduled around shifts, and records each result on a competency card, with instruction in English, Arabic and other languages as needed.

Is a forklift certificate enough to operate a telehandler?＋
Not on its own. A telehandler has a variable-reach boom, a load chart that changes with reach and attachment, and different stability behaviour from a counterbalance forklift. Employers and clients usually expect telehandler-specific training and assessment, and our course covers those differences.
What does telehandler certification in KSA involve?＋
Requirements depend on your employer, your client and the applicable scheme, which can include TVTC requirements. We confirm the current scheme with you, and you can ask us for the approval status and reference of the course before you book.
