In 29CFR 1910.178 all OSHA states about Trainer qualifications is that have to be knowledgeable and capable of putting on a training class that meets OSHA's standards. As for me working for a Dealer, I'm factory trained through MCFA & Crown. That along with 29 yrs. experience in the industry as a mechanic & now a Product Support Rep. more than qualifies me. Whomever you get the training from, you still have to have credibility with the companies you are training for and the operators you are training. If you don't, can you imagine the liability you would be under?
