How the training is structured
The program is designed to provide maximum useful knowledge and prepare you for real-world work:
Theoretical section:
Design and operating principles of modern forklifts.
Safe operation rules and occupational health and safety.
Maintenance, causes of malfunctions, and troubleshooting.
Legal requirements, knowledge of which is verified by the qualification committee.
Practical training at the employer's company:
The practical part of the training is organized according to a common and proven model: you complete it at the company where you plan to work.
Why this is reasonable and convenient for you:
You learn on your future equipment. You don't need to retrain and adapt after graduation—you know the exact forklift you'll be operating from day one.
You immediately experience real-world work conditions. No "hothouse" training ground environment—you see a real warehouse, construction site, or workshop with its specifics, rhythm, and tasks.
You save time on internships after receiving your qualifications. The employer sees you in action and knows you're ready for independent work. Essentially, your practical training is a paid internship that immediately transitions into a shift.
You are assigned to a job even before the exam. The company is interested in you, you are interested in them—by the time you receive your BNTU Institute certificate, you're already part of the team.
This internship format is used by most training centers across the country because it's time-tested and provides the most logical transition from study to work. Combined with theory at the BNTU Institute, you get a powerful combination: fundamental knowledge from a leading technical university plus practical skills in a specific workplace.
