▶Exam subjects
The written test consists of 60 multiple-choice questions on 1. Driving a forklift 2. Loading cargo 3. Transport 4. Unloading 5. Safety management for 60 minutes. For the exam, just buy a copy of the past exam papers and memorize them. It is recommended to visit at least 5 years. I’m preparing with my mind, so I hope you pass at once.
In the practical test, you will actually drive a forklift and drive on the road. You will have to pay a test fee of 25,200 won. Please refer to the picture below for the course. And since you drive on the road, you must have a class 1 driver’s license. In the case of Class 2, if you have been accident-free for more than 10 years, the police station will change it to Class 1 Normal, so you do not need to obtain a Class 1 license separately.

Practical test course
It is not easy to operate a forklift that is new to the course shown in the picture. It may vary depending on the region and the academy, but it is said that the cost of a forklift driver’s academy is about 300,000 to 600,000 won. So, it can be burdensome about education expenses, but these days, the government support program (National Tomorrow Learning Card) is doing well, so you can find out and reduce the financial burden.

Due to the diversification of the labor market, the Ministry of Employment and Labor has a policy to support job-related training costs of 3 to 5 million won for individuals. Although it varies depending on the participant, 45% to 85% of the training fee is supported, so it is a high amount
