Land a Job, While Earning More

Trained operators who complete OSHA-aligned knowledge training are stronger candidates. Instead of being a liability, a student who finishes our Dallas session becomes a valued hire in the local industrial job market.

We partner with companies and temp agencies. After you finish training, we can place your name in our network and share forklift job openings in the Dallas area.

Why do you need to have a Forklift License?

  • It's the law
  • Fines up to $7,000 per employee for operating a forklift without proper training
  • Accepted by OSHA-aligned employers nationwide

What do you get with certified training?

  • Hands-on, behind-the-wheel practice on an actual forklift
  • Certificate of achievement you can print the same day
  • Digital wallet card: record of completed knowledge training
  • OSHA-aligned knowledge training documented for 3 years

The employer still performs (and periodically repeats) a site-specific practical evaluation under 29 CFR 1910.178(l).
