Forklift Operator Training

Hello Friends,

are you know Forklift operator? Forklift operator training is a step by step process which you can do online. After the training OSHAs employer evaluate your forklift driving ability and within 5-7 business days you get your wallet card.

I am looking for your answers?

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.
