If you’re looking to learn a new skill and be certified in as little as a day and start making more money, then forklift training and certification may be something to consider.
Warehouses and companies that use forklifts for material handling are always in need of forklift operators/drivers. As a certified and licensed operator, you’ll always be in high demand.
Our competitors charge not less than $300 for a lift truck (forklift) certification. We charge $150 for everything: classroom training with knowledge Quiz evaluation, hands-on training with a forklift machine in our warehouse. After these, you’ll be awarded a Certificate of Completion with a forklift driver’s card. This is over 50% savings!
The companies charging $50 for forklift training and certification only provide the online theoretical aspect of the training for this amount. For first time riders, after paying this $50, you’ll still have to find a place to do your hands-on training with a forklift machine, and that would most likely cost you not less than $200!
The $150 we’re charging for our training and certification program includes both the classroom teaching (theory with knowledge quiz evaluation) and hands-on training with a forklift machine at our training warehouse, as required by OSHA standards and regulations.
We are located at 6237 Corporate Drive, Houston Texas 77036, slightly after the intersection between Beltway 8 and Bellaire Boulevard.
As a certified forklift operator, most companies will start you on a pay rate of up to $20/hour, including other benefits like 401(K) retirement plan and health insurance, if you are working full-time. You could make up to $30/hour as you gain years of experience driving a forklift machine.
To be trained and certified as a forklift operator in Texas, you’ll need a class C Texas driver’s license. However, this is not a mandatory requirement.
We have a job placement offer with one company for now. However, our training program / module meets OSHA standards for safe material handling. There are companies in the Houston area in high need of forklift operators / drivers with OSHA compliant training and certification. You are guaranteed to get a job with any of those companies once certified in our program.
Our friends at SERJOBS will help pay for the training of those who cannot afford to pay for their training. Call us for more information.
Our certification program typically takes three (3) to (4) hours, depending on the trainee’s ability to grasp the necessary knowledge and skills needed to safely operate a forklift in a warehouse setting.
There is the theoretical aspect of the training that involves video teaching. This video teaching thoroughly explains how to safely operate a forklift. This is followed by a 20-question quiz to evaluate the trainees grasp of the material covered in the video. And then, the final aspect of the certification process is hands-on training with a forklift machine.
This training module is in line with OSHA standards and regulations for safe material handling with a forklift machine.
Your forklift operator’s license is valid for three years. After three years, you’re required by OSHA to renew your forklift operator’s license.
Yes, you can register on our website and complete the theoretical aspect of your training online, but you must come to our physical address for hands-on training with a forklift machine. This is mandatory to meet OSHA standards for material handling with a counterbalance lift truck.
Yes, if you are only renewing your forklift operator’s Certificate with License card, then you may not need to come in for hands-on training with a forklift machine. We can also mail out your forklift certificate/license once you’ve completed our online course.
