IVES Trainer Recertification
Our IVES Trainer Recertification Program is a refresher program for trainers of all types of equipment operators including: forklift, aerial lifts, loader, excavator and mobile crane. We encourage all IVES Certified Trainers to attend a Trainer Recertification class once every three years. This Recertification course is delivered on an open enrollment basis at select training facilities across North America. This program is not equipment specific and addresses a wide scope of issues that trainers encounter during their specific training programs. These topics range from disruptive trainees, communication barriers and faulty equipment to regulatory compliance issues, training aids and evaluation procedures. Discussions are conducted in an interactive style with the Program Facilitator directing the discussion toward practical solutions.
