The online training program (computer-based training) from All Purpose Forklift Training, in collaboration with Forklift U, offers a flexible forklift operator certification that is recognized nationwide. Classes are available in English and Spanish and accessible on various devices such as computers, tablets, or cell phones, so you can learn at your own pace and in your preferred language.
All classes meet all Federal OSHA requirements for Powered Industrial Trucks under the OSHA Guideline 1910.178 for formal training and should take you about an hour to complete. The training provides lift-specific training slides, safety videos, and an online test. Once you pass the test, you can print your forklift operator's license or save it to your mobile device as a jpg. YOU ARE NOT CERTIFIED AT YOUR EMPLOYER UNTIL your employer completes practical training and an evaluation of your skills with a qualified person. Use the form at the end of the class to document this part of the training. (if there is no competent person at your facility, on-site training may be required.)
Our training is valid for 3 years, and you can sign up by filling out the contact form or calling one of our experienced training counselors to ensure you are signing up for the class that best fits your job or company requirements.

Does OSHA Accept Online Certification?
YES!
Under 1910.178 (PIT), a forklift operator must take a formal training class before using a Powered Industrial Truck. But even though you receive a certification card or license, YOU are not certified or authorized to drive any forklift at a company until they complete a hands-on driving test to ensure you can safely drive their equipment. The company should also perform a facility safety and rules review before authorizing you to drive. At the end of the test, your forklift certification will have your name and the class date, but it will also have an evaluation form you can use with your employer to ensure you are 100% OSHA compliant.
