Experience and Reputation
Since the company's inception in 1981, tens of thousands of trainers and hundreds of thousands of operators across North America have been trained using The IVES System™. Our many satisfied customers, which include a virtual who’s who of fortune 500 companies, frequently express their appreciation for the quality and integrity of our programs ... often with comments like:
"It is critical to our success that (our) operators have the most superior quality training program in existence - that is why we selected and continue to use IVES."
"IVES Training is...one of the best if not THE best in the country at training instructors."
"It has been...a real treat to work with an organization with the highest possible standards of integrity and customer service."
Philosophy
The IVES Training Group has achieved national recognition as a leader in powered mobile equipment training. Our success is attributed to our philosophy that there is only one way to prevent industrial equipment-related injuries or deaths along with the associated costs of decreased productivity, downtime and damage... that is to train right the first time - thoroughly, efficiently and professionally
We believe when safety is at stake there is no room for compromise. IVES maintains the highest standard of accuracy, quality and professionalism in all our training programs and materials. Trainees must not only learn safety theory, they must understand the logic behind it. Trainees need to believe in the philosophy before they will put their knowledge to use. They need to learn not only "WHAT" to do, but also be shown "HOW" to do it and, most importantly, "WHY" it must be done.
