Do I need a driver's licence to do TLB training?
You do not need prior TLB experience, and the course covers the machine from the basics. If the TLB will be driven on public roads, the appropriate driver's licence may be required, and we can advise on what applies to your situation. Email us at info@rehtraining.co.za before you book.
Can you train at our site?
Yes. On-site training is available at client premises, and we also run classes at our centres in Midrand and Durban. Training on your own machine and site layout is often the most practical option for employers. Email info@rehtraining.co.za or call 010 746 6954 to arrange a quote. Either way, we will confirm dates and requirements before you commit.
