Fun fact: almost no country has legal requirements to operate a forklift. But almost every country requires your employer to "properly instruct" you in the use of heavy machinery, and for reasons of legal ass covering, they all use external certification.

But there is basically nothing preventing you from some private recreational forklift operating

Nope, don’t even need anything other than payment to drive away with one, hell you can even rent heavy machinery with no licenses.

Remember kids, if you’re going to learn to operate heavy machinery, use someone else’s first!

And watch a whole lot of YouTube videos!

This part is optional if you are using someone else’s equipment

But I wanna watch some Youtube videos not related to forklifts
