Getting a Forklift Certification Online

Article Category: Legal

Author Name: Dave Mulcahy

Obtaining a basic forklift certification online can be very easy. There are a number of websites that offer the formal forklift training (i.e. videos, lectures, and handbooks) required to obtain a forklift certification online. Many online training sources allow you to complete the formal training, download the study materials, and take the written certification test (all from the comfort of your own home).

Although an online certification is convenient for the formal training, an online program cannot help you fulfill the practical (hands-on) training or the driving evaluation (learn more about forklift training here). Not receiving the practical training may still keep some employers from considering your resume if they're looking for skilled or experienced operators. Employers are required by law to make sure their employees can safely and correctly operate their equipment, so some employers may have you retake the formal training, using their in-house training program or a local training company. This ensures that you are familiar with their model of vehicles and that they are compliant with the law.

An online certification does have its benefits. Some smaller companies may have their operators complete their formal training online, reducing training time onsite. If you are unemployed and looking to break into the industry taking the initiative to learn about the safety and proper operation of forklifts can show employers that your are serious about this line of work. You may want to check with each company you plan to apply for a job with before unnecessarily spending resources on an online certification.

Here is a free online resource to familiarize yourself with a forklift operation and safety course.

Once you pass the formal test online, the website will send you your certification. This certification will be valid for three years from the date of issuance. Once you have received the online certification to drive a forklift, your employer is required to evaluate your forklift driving performance to ensure you are able to safely and efficiently handle their vehicles. Be prepared for your employer to evaluate your ability to follow standard safety procedures, operate the lift, and maneuver through tight or difficult spaces. Your employer is required to re-evaluate your performance and driving ability every three years, and to maintain records of such evaluation.

If you are unwilling or uncomfortable receiving your formal training and forklift certification online, check with your local community or technical college. Many of these types of institutions will offer vocational training to non-students. You may also be able to obtain hands-on training and certification at a location that sells or rents forklifts.

NOTE: Certifications for moving toxic or hazardous materials cannot be completed online. Check with your employer or the company you wish to apply to as they may have a system in place that allows you to complete the necessary training onsite or at an offsite location.
