ALLMI (Association of Lorry Loaders, Manufacturers and Importers) are removing the ability to sit a 1 day experienced worker course.

The two options for training under the ALLMI scheme now are:

• 1 day refresher
• 2 day novice

These 1 day courses for both Lorry Loader and Slinger Signaller will now be allowed to run as a refresher course only. This means the candidate must have an in date or recently expired (within 6 months) accredited training card/certificate and has gained 15 hours of experience within the last 12 months.

Accrediting bodies that are currently accepted are:

• AITT
• CPCS
• ITSSAR
• Lantra
• NPORS
• RTITB

Other accrediting bodies may be accepted at ALLMI’s discretion and in-house courses will not be accepted.

This will be enforced across the board from 1^st of March 2024 however many training providers may enforce this policy prior to this date.

Even with these changes ALLMI remains the go-to card for the lorry loader industry, being widely accepted and one of the few cards to come bearing the CSCS logo on a 5 year card without additional assessment/vocational qualifications.

What does this mean for me?

Simply, if you have not undertaken a formal accredited training course previously then you must undertake the 2 day novice training course. There-after you may refresh your qualification on a 1 day refresher in 5 years time.

We can deliver both Lorry Loader & Slinger/Signaller courses WITH Driver CPC hours - this does result in a longer working day however is well worthwhile in saving an extra day off work!

Note: This applies to both Lorry Loader & Slinger/Signaller courses
