Forklift & Heavy Equipment Operator Training
Half classroom, half seat time. Operators finish with a supervised practical evaluation on the machines they will run.
Overview
Each operator course starts with about four hours of classroom on controls, hazards, inspection and load charts, then moves to practical operation through a set course and a skills evaluation. Training happens at your location, on your equipment.
If you have no equipment or space to train, STC can help you set up a training site and a plan for your operators.
Your machines
Operators are evaluated on the equipment they will use at work.
Combined theory and practical
Theory can be taught virtually, with the practical evaluation onsite.
No yard? No problem
