All of our courses are open to those of any skill level and experience as long as you meet the entry requirements. Whether you have never touched a heavy vehicle or a forklift or if you use them often and want to refresh your skill, we are just a phone call away.
AWFTC has been operating since 1999. For the past 20 years, the owner of AWFTC, Mark Hobden, has been training people in the private sector in warehousing lifting equipment. Prior to opening AWFTC, Mark was involved in heavy vehicle and warehouse training for the Australian Army. Mark decided to open his own training centre as he believes that he could provide quality training solutions to individuals, groups and companies incorporating his vast knowledge and commitment to industry training. AWFTC has since grown to include one large operating site with a warehouse, 12 heavy vehicles, 4 trailers, 1 bus, 4 forklifts, 2 stock pickers and 21 employees.
Our Mission
AWFTC is to provide quality transport and warehouse training and assessment services that allows individuals to experience learning success, to like learning and become contributing members of the transport and warehousing industry.
