There is nothing laid down in law about this but the Approved Code of Practice states that "refresher training should be given". This is further reinforced in the Workplace Transport Regulations (2005).. For this reason, many employers arrange for refresher training and re-testing at somewhere between 3 and 5 year intervals. In the event of an accident the authorities would want to know when the operators involved were last trained and if that was a very long time ago, a court may deem that it has been too long and that refresher training should have been given. This link to the HSE web site explains their position on refresher training. Note that if you are on the NORS register you will be expected to attend a refresher course every three years
