Same here, don't ask me why!
I was advised to get a 'counterbalance' license, and opposed to a 'reach truck' as it would be easier for someone with no previous experience in such things.
It took me five days including the day of my test, and cost £400. There was a theory test, which covered mainly Health and safety issues, a demonstration preshift vehicle inspection, and then a series of manoeuvres, including driving and reversing through a chicane, and a series of pallets to move. (Just remember to look around you before EVERY time you move!)
I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a new career or even just something different to do on a week off.

Many warehouses and factories will train you themselves. The warehouse I used to work at we watched a safety and operator's video and then the instructor took us to an unused area of the plant to practice. It's not too hard.

Are you wanting to learn to get a job? Some will teach you on site.
