I recommend forum readers review the following Canadian National Standard: CAN/CSA-B335-04-Safety Standard for Lift Trucks, especially Section 7, Qualifications for Forklift Truck Trainers (pages 34-35).

I also recommend Section 6, Operator Training Requirements (pages 25-33 and Annex D, Suggested Times for Classroom and Practical Sessions (page 54).
