Forklift & MHE Instructor Opportunities
National Compliance Training (NCT) is expanding its regional instructor network to meet growing demand for professional on-site MHE operator training across the UK. If you’re a qualified instructor who values organised delivery, compliance-led systems, and straightforward admin — we’d like to work with you.
Why work with NCT?
We’re not a lead broker. We run structured, compliance-led training delivery with clear expectations and professional admin support. The goal is simple: you can focus on delivery, while we keep bookings, documentation, and certification consistent.
Confirmed bookings
Pre-agreed dates, course types, and joining instructions — no guesswork.
Clean admin process
Templates and guidance so paperwork is consistent and easy to submit.
Certification handled
We coordinate certification processing to reduce your back-office load.
Professional standards
Compliance-first delivery, client-ready documentation, and consistent quality.
On-site training — delivered properly
Most of our work is delivered at client premises: warehouses, factories, logistics hubs and industrial environments. We expect instructors to deliver safely, professionally, and in line with best practice — with documentation that stands up to scrutiny.

RTITB course categories you may deliver
We deliver all RTITB operator course categories on-site using client equipment. Training is typically delivered at novice, experienced and refresher levels as standard. We’ll confirm the category, level, site conditions and candidate experience before you accept a booking.
What we mean by “all categories”
Instructors in our network cover the full range of RTITB categories. You’ll only be offered bookings that match your approvals, experience and travel area.
Note: conversions are offered where the candidate’s prior experience and site requirements allow.
