Learning to drive a forklift is actually rather straightforward if you know how to operate a motor vehicle. Most people can simply pick it up from a coworker in the matter of a few minutes. You only need more training to be licensed for insurance purposes.

It will not help you learn everything, but it will give you some advance experience in how to use it.
