  3. Be evaluated by your employer on the forklift you will operate on the job

Our course covers the first step—OSHA-compliant classroom training. Your employer is responsible for tracking your practical evaluation and certification. If you need practice on an actual forklift, we offer in-person classes to help you get up to speed.
