its a course pal, usually 2-3 days, mine was.
very easy though.
Your usually taken to a test center, and sat down with a couple of people the same as yourself, then its a few videos to watch, then sit down and talk about a few things, then a practical viewing of the forklift ( counter balance i did)
You have to do checks and remember them
Then the 2nd day you have a theory test which is v simple, after youve passed that youve got your practical test which takes about 40 mins, its all simple though.
Theres plenty of courses you can take, scissor lift, counter balance, bendi, etc
