We are training in Fresno, offering forklift certification and training for individuals and companies. Our training program consist of a classroom setting and behind the wheel training. In short, if you don’t have experience operating a forklift, we will teach you to operate the equipment and issue the respective forklift license in the same day. The entire process will take up to 4 hours to complete and at the end of the training you will receive your forklift license with your picture on it and a certificate of achievement. The license is valid for 3 years and OSHA accepted.
It’s a proven industry fact that forklift operators who are not OSHA compliant make less money than those who are. Operators who are not certified are liabilities and can make employers vulnerable to crushing lawsuits if something goes wrong. Trained operators know the proper safety protocols, making them less likely to commit errors or cause accidents and injuries. Instead of being a liability, a student who undergoes our training becomes a well-valued commodity in the Fresno job market.
We’re partners with different companies and temp agencies, and once you finish the training, your name will be placed in our network. This means that we’ll inform you of any forklift job openings in the Fresno area.

Are you looking to establish a forklift safety program for your company utilizing a staff member as trainer for employees?
This offer is the ideal solution for a company looking to establish a forklift safety program utilizing its own staff member as trainer for the employees. The program is tailored to providing the education and materials required for an individual with experience working on the shop floor or at the warehouse location and who is familiar with the forklift equipment the employees are operating to become a trainer for the company.
There are over 85 forklift-related deaths and 34,900 serious injuries yearly. It’s safe to say that the number of forklift-related accidents and deaths would plummet dramatically if more operators would undergo the necessary training. At Forklift Academy, we don’t take these numbers lightly, and one of our main focus points deal with following precise safety precautions. Students leave our class knowing how to minimize property and equipment damage, while maximizing the safety of pedestrians and forklift operators. We address day-to-day safety inspection protocols and delve into the proper procedures for lifting and transporting a load. We don’t believe in simply brushing over safety precautions. At Forklift Academy, we take safety seriously.
Our classes are in-depth. Our instructors use attention-grabbing power point presentations, thorough written tests that will fully evaluate your understanding of the course material, and educational practice sessions with an actual forklift. If you follow the course, you’ll know how to operate a forklift with competence.
Our classes are convenient. They only take 3-4 hours of your time.
Our classes are taught by knowledgeable instructors. We train our students to be the best.
