Thank You IVES for the wonderful training program and opportunity to maintain my skills and knowledge through your training programs. It wasn't until I went through my training that I truly understood the significance behind forklift safety.

Rosa | Logistics & HR Supervisor | Newly Weds Foods

I requested to become a Certified Forklift Trainer in my 7th year while working with Continental Mills. It wasn't until I went through my training that I truly understood the significance behind forklift safety. To this day, I still promote forklift safety at all times when I walk through the plant. I have been promoted to HR Manager and Safety Coordinator for the new owners Newly Weds Foods for almost 4 years. I recently celebrated 25 years of service at this plant and of all of my accomplishments; my knowledge of forklifts and the greater importance of safety will be instilled in me for my lifetime. I don't hesitate to stop and coach any new driver or long-term driver of the importance to not get complacent in their role when it comes to their safety or the safety of their co-workers. Forklift safety is important enough to me; that when I retire; I hope to have the opportunity to continue to teach and certify forklift safety in our community. Thank You IVES for the wonderful training program and opportunity to maintain my skills and knowledge through your training programs.

The training and tools that I received from IVES have taken our forklift and all terrain forklift training to the next level. The train the trainer program really teaches you the in-depth specifics of the equipment, but it also teaches you how to apply this knowledge while working.

The training and tools that I received from IVES have taken our forklift and all terrain forklift training to the next level. The train the trainer program really teaches you the in-depth specifics of the equipment, but it also teaches you how to apply this knowledge while working. And the best part about the program is it teaches you how to teach others how to work safer. If you're a large city or a small business this program will work for you.

IVES has been my go-to for all of my material handling needs. Customer service has been excellent for over 10 years of business. Their knowledge and constant updates ensure my business moves forward, and my students get the best training available.

Travis | Certified Trainer | Airborne Forklift & Safety Consultants

IVES has been my go-to for all of my material handling needs. I have personally attended multiple classes and use Ives for my instructors training classes. Anyone can meet standards, but Ives exceeds them. Getting the materials I need is a phone call or email away. Customer service has been excellent for over 10 years of business. Their knowledge and constant updates ensure my business moves forward, and my students get the best training available. Instructor manuals and class folders are far more detailed than any other material handling books I have ever seen. If you want the best, IVES has it. Thank you, IVES, for helping my business grow and keeping my students safe.

IVES Training Group is very well known to be the leader in training for the safe and efficient operation of mobile equipment. Well, I made the right choice. My train the trainer course exceeded my expectations by allowing me to understand not only the stability and operation of the powered industrial truck, but also instructional techniques on how to train our operators.

Jay | Training Coordinator | Chevron Phillips Chemical Company

Hi, my name is Jay Joiner, and I am the training coordinator for a brand new "world's largest" chemical process unit that started up last year. This unit has a 36k forklift that the operators are required to use to move 6k cylinders full of pyrophoric material off of trucks and around in the unit. This powered industrial truck is more than intimidating to look not to mention climb on and operate. I had a huge task of becoming trainer certified and return to our facility to train and refresh the training to our operators every three years. So, I did what made sense, I turned to the professionals. IVES Training Group is very well known to be the leader in training for the safe and efficient operation of mobile equipment. Well, I made the right choice. My train the trainer course exceeded my expectations by allowing me to understand not only the stability and operation of the powered industrial truck, but also instructional techniques on how to train our operators. I returned to our plant being able to look at that 36k forklift in a different light and possessed the skills that have made me viewed by my peers as "a good trainer." I owe all of that to IVES Training Group for not just selling me a product but providing me with a valuable experience!

Since taking the "Train the Trainer" course, I have certified well over 125 employees with this system. This has really stepped up, not only our expectation of a safe work experience for our employees but has also created some very good talks amongst ourselves in the forklift world of safety.

The training I received was top notch and it continues to be passed down every time we complete new operator training or re-certification for all of our current operators. If your company is looking for the leading operator training company, then you need not look any further than IVES.

I have been involved with mobile equipment for over 25 years and have taken several different courses during that time. Back in 2005 I received a promotion to Health & Safety roll and took on the mobile equipment training. I had the opportunity to go through train the trainer and found the class to be top notch in every aspect of the training I received. Today we are not only using the IVES training system for or forklift operators, but also for our SPEWP Scissor lift operator training. The training I received was top notch and it continues to be passed down every time we complete new operator training or re-certification for all of our current operators.
