"I need to give you a testimony. Nick [the trainer] trains his trainers to keep good records and lesson plans. He has stated in his training that one day you may have to provide these items. Well it happened to me, unfortunately we had a fatally in this area. My supervisor heard and read through the media that it had happened to one of our clients. He asked me to gather all my resources that I use for my forklift classes, and asked if this individual was in any of my training classes. I also read and heard the story, let me tell you that my heart sank when I read and heard the story. But I did not need to worry due to the fact that I was properly trained about maintaining records. My supervisor warned me that OSHA will more than likely come to see you on this matter, and he was right an OSHA compliance officer came by and requested to see all of my training resources. So I cooperated with him, he asked me a few questions about our program here at San Juan College School of Energy. So when he asked me what material I use for forklift training and when I told him that I use IVES Training, he stated to me that I have heard about them and they are one of the best if not the best in the country on training instructors I was relieved and blessed to hear those words. It was like music to my ears. You do not know how grateful I am that you have trained me to represent IVES and what they represent when it comes to training others to be safe and knowledgeable operators. If you would pass this on to potential or already instructors, if they think that this will not happen to them then they are setting themselves up for a fall and a lawsuit."
Randy, Safety Instructor at San Juan College School of Energy
"Greatest thing since sliced bread."
Dave, Maintenance Technician at Wood Group Power
"Enjoyed class was Professional and Fun."
Cody, Training Specialist at URS Federal Services
"I thoroughly enjoyed this week and feel that I have a better understanding and knowledge than I had prior to this course. Excellent trainer and an excellent course!"
Jamie, General Warehouse Worker at Thrifty Foods
"This is great material. A must for the industry."
Steve, Instructor at Operating Engineers
"During my 40 plus years in industry, there have been many courses and seminars I have attended. Some good, some not so good and some just plainly a waste of time.
The IVES train-the-trainer program was definitely money well spent. Since one of our main objectives here at Quality Chain is safety, your program fits easily into our company practices. The training I received and can now pass along to my fellow employees helps to insure everyone gets to go home healthy at the end of the day. Full cudos to Jim, the instructor. Due to his equipment and industry background, he is the right man for the job he is doing. He kept the course interesting and with his easy going manner but firm control, the class had the benefit of his experience and learned the lessons being taught. Speaking for myself, I found the course interesting, educational, enjoyable and at my age, it was fun to learn something new."
Rick, Projects & Equipment at Quality Chain Canada
