A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Course Details
Who is the A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Course for?
The RTITB accredited A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Training Course is designed for those with no, or very limited, experience of using an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck.
A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Course – Eligibility
The RTITB and Health & Safety Executive (HSE) have set guidance and some eligibility criteria for attending these A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Training Courses.
A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Course – Eligibility Criteria
Experience Level – This A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Course is for those with no, or very limited, experience of using an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck.
Age – To attend this A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Course and operate an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck in the workplace you must be at least school leaving age (16). Please note, subject to a risk assessment, if you are under the age of 18 you may need to be supervised in the workplace when using an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck until you reach the age of 18. In addition, no person under the age of 18 can use an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck on docks, or ports.
Language – This A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Course has multiple classroom-based theory lessons throughout. A written theory test is also mandatory. In addition, the safe use of an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck requires that the operator reads and understands any safety signs, local safety notices, and can thoroughly understand the manufacturer’s operator handbook for an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck.
The practical training aspect of this A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Course, and the mandatory practical test of operating skills, involves continuous verbal instructions that the trainee must be able to understand and act upon in a safe manner.
Therefore, good comprehension of English language and literacy are important for attending this A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Course.
Note – In extreme cases, an accredited translator can be used for the purposes of testing. The chosen translator must not be a candidate on the A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Course and must not alter the sense of any of the answers given by the candidate. If required, please seek legal advice on the use of an accredited translator.
Medical – There is currently no legislation or clear medical guidance available in relation to the specific use of an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck. In general, we would apply the HSE principle that each person’s fitness for operating an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck should be judged individually to ensure that people with disabilities are not disadvantaged but competence in an emergency must always be considered.
We would therefore generally follow the health guidance issued by the DVLA for Group 1 entitlement if the need arises to assess capabilities for operating an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck.
Essentially, if you are not, or would not be restricted in obtaining a UK driving licence, then there should be no restrictions in operating an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck in normal circumstances.
Note – All trainees are required to sign a medical declaration at the beginning of these A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Novice Courses.

In addition, the safe use of an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck requires that the operator reads and understands any safety signs, local safety notices, and can thoroughly understand the manufacturer’s operator handbook for an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck.
The practical training aspect of this A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Experienced Operator Course, and the mandatory practical test of operating skills, involves continuous verbal instructions that the trainee must be able to understand and act upon in a safe manner.
Therefore, good comprehension of English language and literacy are important for attending this A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Experienced Operator Course.
Note – In extreme cases, an accredited translator can be used for the purposes of testing. The chosen translator must not be a candidate on the A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Experienced Operator Course and must not alter the sense of any of the answers given by the candidate. If required, please seek legal advice on the use of an accredited translator.
Medical – There is currently no legislation or clear medical guidance available in relation to the specific use of an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck. In general, we would apply the HSE principle that each person’s fitness for operating a A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck should be judged individually to ensure that people with disabilities are not disadvantaged but competence in an emergency must always be considered.
We would therefore generally follow the health guidance issued by the DVLA for Group 1 entitlement if the need arises to assess capabilities for operating an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck.
Essentially, if you are not, or would not be restricted in obtaining a UK driving licence, then there should be no restrictions in operating an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck in normal circumstances.
Note – All trainees are required to sign a medical declaration at the beginning of these A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Experienced Operator Courses.
Driving Licence – You do not need a driving licence (car licence) to attend this A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Experienced Operator Course or to operate an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck on business premises.

A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Experienced Operator Course – Basic Operator Skills Test Guidance Notes
The A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Experienced Operator Course practical skills test has been devised to examine the critical skills required of an A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck operator at a reasonable working pace, which includes:
- Starting and stopping the truck

The A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Experienced Operator Course practical skills test is marked on a penalty points system. You gain penalty points for all safety faults that occur. Exceeding the maximum permitted penalty points will result in a referral (test failed). A re-test will be required after a period of remedial training. Your instructor will inform you of the maximum points permitted, which are determined by the test lift height of the A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck used for testing.
The A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck practical skills test is also a time restricted test, with penalty points incurred for exceeding set times. Exceeding the maximum permitted set time will result in a referral (test failed). A re-test will be required after a period of remedial training. Your instructor will inform you of the maximum permitted time, which is determined by the test lift height of the A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck used for testing.
There are also 6 safety critical factors that your examiner will be looking for and will halt the test immediately if any of those 6 safety critical factors occur. This would result in a mandatory disqualification and a referral (failed test). A re-test will be required after a period of remedial training.
Note – Your RTITB instructor will identify and explain all potential safety faults throughout the duration of your A7 Pedestrian Reach Truck Experienced Operator Training Course and will deliver corrective training on each as they occur.
