If I could give zero stars, I would. This is, without question, one of the most disappointing workplaces I have ever encountered. I found the culture to be deeply unprofessional, lacking integrity, accountability, and basic respect for employees. Decisions appeared inconsistent, favouritism seemed to outweigh merit, and professionalism was… Read more
replaced by workplace politics. Make sure you have your X rated photos saved to climb the corporate ladder.
My experience left me feeling that fairness and due process were completely absent. I believe I was treated unjustly, and my dismissal was handled in a manner that fell well below the standard any employee should expect.
I cannot recommend this company to anyone looking for an ethical, transparent, or professionally managed workplace. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage prospective employees to carefully consider whether this is the type of organisation they want to be part of.
Basically, RUN
Excellent training and administrative service from start to finish. Following a minor issue with the course payment, the staff resolved it quickly and with a high level of professionalism.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Trainer – Joshua Howlett, Licences 4Work Malaga I recently completed the two-day Order Picker course with Joshua Howlett at Licences 4Work Malaga and can honestly say it was an exceptional training experience. Joshua delivered a well-structured course using real-life workplace scenarios rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.… Read more
His emotional intelligence, patience, and ability to adapt to different learning styles created a supportive environment where questions were encouraged and understanding was always checked. As a beginner, I was cautious and took my time during the practical component. When I apologised for being slow, Joshua calmly replied, “It’s not about speed; it’s about getting the job done safely.” Those words immediately put me at ease and reinforced the importance of safety in a high-risk environment. His calm manner, clear explanations, and genuine encouragement helped build my confidence and ensured I felt safe and supported throughout the course. By the end, I felt competent, prepared, and confident in operating the equipment safely.
Joshua is a credit to Licences 4Work and sets a high standard for professional training. I would not hesitate to undertake future machinery operating courses with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality training. Thank you, Joshua, for an outstanding learning experience.

Both trainers and assessors were thorough in their training techniques, have adequate learning information and were available when needed, extremely pleasant in manner & professional I would definitely recommend this business for all your learning needs in obtaining tickets.
Mr. Anthony Appleton was fantastic. Sincere, thorough and knew exactly where professionalism and fun meets. Grateful. Thanks Anthony. TC
AMAZING! The instructors was competent, fun, and really cool. Especially Moana, Michael, and Rod. They are really helpfull and patience to teach us. The proses was fast and accurate, and the I really love it because they are the only training that has a weekend class. The facilities are decent and very clean with coffee, tea, and bright good toilet. Will definitely trust L4W for my next other license. Show reply

An absolute Hoot! Hilarious, Interactive, and Engaging! – I have just completed my Traffic control combo course and I felt compelled to write this review! So firstly, the prices of “Licenses 4 work” are the absolute lowest around and most competitive on the market. Not only that, they always offer huge discounts if you go online and book on the right days or availability. I got a $100 discount off the… Read more
price of my course!!
Secondly, the trainers, Billy and Micheal, were the best trainers I’ve ever dealt with, and I have been through quite a few trainers already as I have acquired many licenses.
Especially trainer Michael Harris!! He is an absolute “Hoot” when it comes to teaching the class the material! He makes it so interactive and absolutely so hilarious!
He makes the class fully and totally enjoy their learning experience which makes a huge difference cos he gets the whole class to engage.
Michael’s comedic flow, warm nature, and his “don’t care what others think of me” dancing attitude, is such an awesome thing to witness.
It was an absolute bonus that we got to see him bust out his funky moves “live” in front of the class and on-site!
Moves of which he also periodically busts out in public on a job when he can. Just his unnatural but groovy actions will put a smile on the faces thus making a motorist’s day if they’re lucky enough to cross paths with him and see him in his element…busting out his funky random, “out there” moves!
Michael should really be teaching other trainers how to training students is done better! He can show the other trainers how to keep a class engaged and interacting which always will produce the best results!
Especially for students like myself who are of older age and of whom find learning quite scary.
I can honestly give you this feedback due to my first hand experience with in his class. It’s a Freaken absolute “Comedic Hoot”!!
So go get your personal experience with Micheal and Billy today, and book for one of their courses!
Legit, I am not even kidding you! ✋ And tell them “Trackie Tran” sent you! Dont forget to send Michael my ❤️‼️ ✌
I paid extra fee for CPR course only because it says 7 days available. And it turns out NOT! I didn't use any service from this school. When I requested refund, the manager refused even if they should according to their conditions. I've lodged a complaint on Fair Trading. Contact me if anyone experienced such unfairness lfu6998@gmail.com. Scam!!!!

The theory instructor was average, but the content was interesting and engaging. The practical instructor was competent and fair, given his use of positive reinforcement, clear instructions, and firm correction as required. But their administration… Read more
lacks credibility in terms of reliability. As a manager, I returned a third time to this business to find that my booking for a final licencing test had NOT been recorded despite my adherence to stipulated procedure. This cost me as a manager of a charity business with national and international affiliation (ADRA), a day of productivity, a 3-hour wasted round trip and petrol, and this without taking into account the stress of preparing for assessment that never eventuated.
Follow-up · My assessment was re-scheduled several days later and I got my licence.
Horrible Reception staff. Disrespectful to customers. We asked for help came in early so we could seek assistance and were told to come back when open. Only to be told to pay a rescheduled fee. Just want to take as much money from people as… Read more
possible. Staff need training in cultural diversity and awareness as they speak very rudely and hostile to others without even realising.
Follow-up · We were not able to complete the course or offered a refund . We ended up contacting fair trading as their management team was of no support. Be mindful when booking these people have no care whatsoever. They just want your money

I recently finished my forklift licence course. I found Trainer Steven is quite gentle,knowledgeable and he provide adequate study material. I found my assessor Peter was a professional person with freindly approach. But regret to find Trainer Ibrahim as full of drama and unrealistic , with disrespectful approach.
Brad and Kyle from Kenwick Licences for Work were very helpful, kind and straight to the point. I felt very supported with their help which has made my experience very easy and an enjoyable process. Passing my forklift licence. Would recommend to anyone looking for licences in the Perth region.

I did a whitecard course with license4work and the trainer was Jaya Patel and she was very helpful and kind. I recommend this course as it goes for about 4 hours and teaches you a lot and is a overall good experience.
Negative reviews
My friday and saturday course was cancelled not once but twice, wasted a month and now requested a refund. First cancellation was notified by email a night before so they say they forgot to ring me. Second time they did ring but they are advertising friday and Saturday course buy cat deliver.
I had a very disappointing experience with this training provider. During the training, important parts were rushed through or not properly explained. For example, some maintenance-related topics were skipped quickly with comments like “the maintenance guy would know this,” and only very basic explanations such as “if the green light is on, it’s… Read more
fine” or “just check for damage or leaks” were given.
Despite this, I studied all the materials they provided and followed everything they told me to do.
However, during the assessment, I was asked questions about topics that were not properly covered in the training and were not included in any of the materials given. One of the questions that I was failed on was about the small indicators on top of the batteries. I explained that liquid levels would rise and that there would be a visible change, but apparently the expected answer was specifically that the small white indicators would rise.
English is not my first language, and although I clearly demonstrated my understanding of what happens, my answer was not accepted. There was no training provided for this level of detail, no written material covering it, and even close or reasonable answers were not considered.
Because of this, I was failed without even being given the chance to operate the forklift.
I believe this was completely unfair. I did everything expected of me, yet I was put in a position where I couldn’t succeed.
In addition, the trainer’s behaviour during the course was highly inappropriate and unprofessional. The trainer made offensive and discriminatory jokes during the training. There were comments directed at a student of Greek background suggesting he should “get a passport and go back to his country,” which was extremely disrespectful. Similar mocking remarks were also made about my own background and towards other students, including comments related to race, appearance, and whether someone was from an island.
Such behaviour is unacceptable in a professional learning environment and made the experience even more uncomfortable.
I also enrolled in the LO training with this provider without fully understanding the quality of their service, and I now deeply regret that decision.
Overall, I feel misled and treated unfairly. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this organisation to anyone.
Doing online course when it comes to questions with missing words will not accept correct answers taken verbatim from course Rang call centre like talking to an ignorant child no follow up no idea wish I read reviews beforehand

Andrew was an amazing trainer throughout the course. He explained everything clearly and made sure everyone understood each part before moving on.

questions and stay engaged. You could tell he genuinely cared about everyone learning properly and gaining confidence. Overall, his teaching made a big difference and made the whole course a much better experience.
Thanks again Natashia
I recently completed my forklift operations certificate at Licences4work and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, and the facility was top notch.

super approachable and brought great energy to the sessions. He balanced friendliness with just the right amount of firmness, making the learning experience even better. Thanks again legend TOOT TOOT!
This High Reach Forklift course is incredibly affordable, but don't let the low price fool you—the curriculum is comprehensive and, at times, overwhelming. However, that intensity is what makes it so effective. The reason it all comes together is the trainer, Steven Dunn. He is an absolutely amazing instructor who breaks down complex operations… Read more
into manageable, understandable steps. His patience, clarity, and obvious expertise turned a potentially stressful experience into a fantastic learning environment. I finished the course not just with a license, but with genuine confidence. Highly recommend, especially for the chance to learn from Steven.
I took the EWP under eleven meters and over 11 meters boom courses with trainer Scott, and he was absolutely fantastic. Super knowledgeable, down-to-earth, made everything click by explaining jargon clearly and using real-world examples. He kept it fun-kicked off class by warning us that he does swear and speaks a form of French at times, which… Read more
had us laughing and totally chilled.
[Totally the opposite of trainer Ozman (warning: do not swear in trainer Ozman’s class or he’ll kill you with his eyes!)]
Scott drilled harness setup, showed exactly what assessors wanted to observe in order to pass the exam and practical, and gave tons of practice time on both the boom, scissor lift and vertical lift.
Scott came right up to each of us, gave personal walkthroughs on what the written exam covered, spelled out exactly which bits we had to memorise versus reason through, and kept checking we got it.
No one felt rushed; he even quizzed us one-on-one till we nailed it. That extra attention made passing first time feel easy.
Taught safety tricks, like what not to do, answered every question patiently, and I passed all licenses first try. Highly recommend Scott for anyone going for EWP Boom at License 4 Work!
I also need to mention Alana the receptionist at the Bankstown site! She is the most amazing, nicest, friendliest, helpful and genuine person I’ve ever meet!
She not only catered for my training needs, she did it with a “deal buster” deal for me! Not only that, she took care of my brothers who I got to take the courses with me also! Alana, you’re the awesomely best!
We had to do a coarse interstate due to the coarse not being offered in Perth. We had a job to do in Newcastle and booked a scissors lift coarse at the Newcastle branch. The job was delayed at short notice and notified Licence 4 Works that we would not be flying into Newcastle until the following week. Because is was a couple of hours short of… Read more
48hrs notice we had to pay $150 rebooking fee. They were rude on the phone and would not wave the extra fee. I used to send all my Guys there but now go elsewhere. I do not recommend dealing with this company.

LF with Kevin Hobbs as my trainer everything he taught us was clear and made me understand quickly and when he saw I made a mistake he directed me to make it correct he did his 101 percent to bring his wisdom to feed our knowledge and I recommend him to anyone who wants to pass
Expect admin to treat you with utter contempt. This is a cowboy outfit designed to separate you from your money, with little regard to the quality of your training. If you’re looking for anything more than tick-and-flick, go anywhere else than here.
Ken Blake explained everything clearly and effectively, He had a mountain of information that’s he spread across the entire class , I was very satisfied with the class
Today my team went to Licenses 4 Work to do our First Aid and CPR course we had the best trainer learnt heaps and Liv was so wonderful so kind and caring and explained everything,it was a great learning environment thank you Liv From The Team @Survivor's R Us
Clint was a great teacher. He had great energy, clear and very knowledgeable. Organized with pens and paperwork. Seamless coordination between admin and Clint. Thank you all for a great experience.
Booked and paid in full for EWP course. Received confirmation and reminder emails about the course. Turned up at scheduled time to be told course was cancelled and that I could take the book home and maybe come back tomorrow weather permitting. I paid upfront for a course - not an online course. Now I’ve been advised it could take up to 2 weeks to… Read more
get a refund but I can’t contact head office regarding that as they don’t have a phone number. Heads up - go elsewhere for training
Booked an employee in for forklift licence. He returned to work saying it was poorly organised with his trainer apologising to him saying they had made an error with booking. 30 people in class with them running the class backwards focussing on day 2 students in a day 1 class. When I rang the person I spoke to could not have any more… Read more
disinterested and denied that the trainer made any such comments. As an employer, I expect better. I wouldn't use or recommend Licences 4 work to anyone.
A great Organisation, Sam and the team are highly knowledgeable and experienced, Mr M. Hassoun was my Instructor in The Traffic Control Training (Combo), he is clear, concise and is always open to questions providing in return accurate and logical answers. Thankyou L4W Bankstown. Show reply
