I'm doubtful any certified trainer would accept completion of an online course as substitute for their own theory learning material.

You can buy anything off the internet. Buying a doctorate from qualificationsrus.com don't make you no doctor.

Yup online training is just for theory part and for attaining the basic knowledge about the loading instructions and allowances. But i think you also have to give the practical training just like the Driving test to get the valid forklifter's license.

Taking the Hard Out of Hardwork!!
Yes it is available online. obviously, a driving test is needed as well but the classroom theory can be given online. Too many drivers dont even know what the load capabilities are. They think nothing of picking up 2 skids of water that weigh 6000 lbs!
even experienced drivers cant tell you what the max load rating is.
Online theory might suit some people better than a packed classroom with a boring monotone instructor!

Forklift operator training online? I'm confused?

That's like learning to swim by reading a book about it.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
