AITT are the only membership run accrediting body in our industry, and proudly operate solely as a non-profit making organisation. Our purpose is to provide and maintain the highest training standards for operators, instructors and tutors delivering training on all types of workplace transport and material handling equipment.

They consist of industry experts, from lift truck manufacturers, H&S representatives, training organisations, and instructors.
