Forklift training and certification
Classroom and hands-on lift truck training for new operators with little or no experience, and for existing operators who need refresher training and evaluation.
New operators
This full course is for operators with little or no experience on electric or propane counterbalance forklifts. It combines classroom instruction and testing with practical training and evaluation at our Concord training centre.
Existing operators and refresher training
An interactive review of lift truck safety and operation, followed by an individual practical test at your workplace. The instructor corrects unsafe or incorrect techniques and reviews pre-shift inspection procedures, so you can operate your specific class of lift truck and attachments safely.
CSA Standard B335-15 calls for operator refresher training every three years.
