"My forklift instructor was brilliant, the best instructor I've had by far. He was patient with me and answered all my questions. He was very clear when teaching and preparing me for both the theory and practice tests. I really appreciate his effort and time, honestly, I couldn't thank him more."

"My instructor corrected any errors in a positive way which was refreshing. An example would be, instead of starting the conversation with a "no" my instructor would say "I suggest you do it this way". This approach corrects any errors without making the trainee feel like they have failed. Good man."

"My instructor made me feel very welcome from the start and was very friendly and informative. I was a bit nervous to start with as I have never driven a forklift but he took me through it at a good pace, constantly made sure I was happy and gave good demos. Couldn’t recommend him enough. The other trainers were also lovely and made me feel welcome. Really enjoyed it."

"I had the pleasure of undertaking a re-registration course at TAL. The place is well organised and perfectly suited to the needs of training. My tutor was a very professional, firm yet friendly individual. I was truly impressed by my trainer and his knowledge and skills throughout the course. He treated everyone very fairly, using a skillful and individual approach with each of us. He can definitely be seen as an example of what an instructor should be. Big thanks, and I wish you all the best!"
