Forklift Driver Course in Skien
Skien Municipality is in Grenland in Telemark, and MTK Skolen has its own branch in the town. Here you complete the entire forklift driver training: theory, practical training on our own forklifts and the practical test. You do not need to bring your own forklift, and the branch is also a natural course venue for participants from Porsgrunn, Bamble and Siljan.
The theory part covers T1–T5. At the branch we offer practical training and the practical test on T1, T2 and T4 – the complete course includes T1 and T4, while T2 can be added. T3 (turret truck) is not offered here; the practical part for T3 is taken at our training centre at Sem in Tønsberg, approx. 55 minutes away via the E18. The course is suitable for those who work in warehousing, industry, building and construction or retail.
