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 forklift machine for material handling are always in need of forklift operators. As a certified and licensed operator, there will always be job opportunities for you.
While many training providers charge over $200 for complete standard sit-down forklift certification, our all-inclusive program is just $150. This single fee covers your classroom instruction, knowledge quiz, and practical, hands-on driving experience in our warehouse. Upon successful completion, you will immediately receive your Certificate of Completion and a forklift operator’s card—delivering the exact same official credentials with savings of up to 30%.
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.
We do not offer payment assistance to trainees for now. You will have to pay out of pocket to complete our OSHA-compliant forklift training and certification program.
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.
