Default FAO: Forklift Drivers or Testers

I was thinking about taking my forklift driver test. I've looked on the interspaghetti-ohs and not found much info on a place I can take it or anything really. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this?

Cheers in advance

i have 3, reach c/b and vna. can bring you reasonable money for little work and always good as a back up. past mine with various companys ( all paid for by employers) vna brings in the most money followed by reach and finally c/b but alot depends on where you work and how they ascess(sp?) it.
