My students always comment on how in-depth and how much time I spend with them during training, compared to other courses they have taken in the past. I accredit this with how well the initial training and subsequent refresher training I received from Ives has been. The training aids that you make available are excellent and are a resource I use in all my courses that I offer.

Well, I would like to say thank you for such great training and knowledge that I was able to get from your class. I've been able to pass this on to my students which up to now it’s been over 150 since November of 2015. My students have praised the extra knowledge that they have received and all the forklift safety information that they didn’t know and how now they can be better and safer forklift operator. The instructor we had was great and very knowledgeable made the class fun and full of vast information. Again, I would like to say thank you for your training.

The IVES trainer was hands down the best instructor I have had the opportunity to learn from in my 20 years as a maintenance technician. He led the class with an incredible amount of knowledge, confidence, and energy. I have been in a trainer role for a little over a year and this class and the IVES trainer has had a huge impact on my success!

I attended an Aerial Lift Train the Trainer course in Texas in February. I have since taken that class back to Amazon and began instruction to 40 Technicians. I gained a ton of knowledge from the class pertaining to Aerial lifts. However, the most noted gain I have saw in myself since the class is the degree of professionalism to which I operate in the classroom.

At looking at the other programs I have always stayed with IVES as I think they are the premier provider of course material, service, professional conduct, always staying current with ever changing laws and regulations and with an open-door policy for any questions one may have.

I have been an IVES trainer for 8 years now working for 4 different companies as safety director having the opportunity for various different training providers, at my resources. At looking at the other programs I have always stayed with IVES as I think they are the premier provider of course material, service, professional conduct, always staying current with ever changing laws and regulations and with an open-door policy for any questions one may have. Thanks, IVES, for a great 8 years.

IVES has always been my go-to for powered mobile equipment training because the course material is by far the best in the industry. I have always received warm, accurate and friendly service from IVES and that's a lot of reasons to keep using the #1 Training Group in the country!

IVES was one of the best Train the Trainer courses I've ever taken! IVES has not only provided me with excellent training and knowledge but accomplishing the ultimate goal as a safety professional of ensuring that all my employees return home as safe as they came to work.

John | Division Safety Director | Seretta Construction Texas, LLC

IVES was one of the best Train the Trainer courses I've ever taken! Tons of good information that even I wasn't aware of when anyone was operating one of the core 4 pieces of equipment. I have taken the excellent safety knowledge that IVES has provided me with and applied their information in many of my own training sessions to my employees in the classroom as well as the field. It has been very rewarding as a fellow safety professional to know that I am making a difference in the aspects of safety to all my companies' employees that I share my knowledge with. IVES has not only provided me with excellent training and knowledge but accomplishing the ultimate goal as a safety professional of ensuring that all my employees return home as safe as they came to work.

The training material was so well laid out and easy to follow that it kept everyone in the class engaged and focused on learning. If I had to give a recommendation on a company to use for training IVES would be my first, second, and third choice.

Kelly | Safety Manager | Prism Electric

I had the pleasure of attending a train the trainer course through IVES for boomlift and scissor lift. I've attended several training programs on various equipment and machinery and never have I felt so comfortable using or operating new equipment as I did with IVES. I had very minimal experience with operating the lifts and when I jumped on them after sitting through the training material I felt as if I had operated them for years. The training material was so well laid out and easy to follow that it kept everyone in the class engaged and focused on learning. If I had to give a recommendation on a company to use for training IVES would be my first, second, and third choice.

I tell every class I teach that IVES is the best program and recommend it highly, having seen and helped replaced several other PE training programs that lacked the integrity and standards of the IVES program. Thank you for your continued dedication to creating safe work environments, empowering people and businesses to get the job done right with the right knowledge backing them up.

Anne | Safety/Loss Prevention | Lowes

I first started driving Power Equipment in 2009-2010 and the company I worked for used the IVES program and IVES Certified Trainers. It was AMAZING, in two weeks I had been licensed on two different pieces of equipment and felt confident in my technical knowledge and skills. By the end of that first year, I was asked to become an IVES Certified Trainer and jumped at the opportunity. I have now been driving and training operators for Over 6 years and have expanded my training skills to consult with other companies on setting up programs and ensuring they are doing right by their operators. I tell every class I teach that IVES is the best program and recommend it highly, having seen and helped replaced several other PE training programs that lacked the integrity and standards of the IVES program.

This is by far the hardest, yet most rewarding course I have ever taken. Very intense, informative training. We just implemented our own training program, and this was the definite way to go. The instructor was fantastic, made the class enjoyable, made us want to learn.

This is by far the hardest, yet most rewarding course I have ever taken. Very intense, informative training. We just implemented our own training program and this was the definite way to go. The instructor was fantastic, made the class enjoyable, made us want to learn. He gave us so many examples of how to teach this to our guys, how to make it interesting and how to handle the guy who "knows it all". Not only did I get a great training experience I also learned a lot as well. Would recommend this to any company looking to grow and expand and implement their own training. You cannot go wrong with the entire IVES experience.
