Online Trainer Recertification

The IVES Online Trainer Recertification Program is a refresher program for trainers of forklift, aerial lift, loader and excavator operators. We encourage all IVES Certified Trainers to attend a Trainer Recertification class once every three years.

The IVES Online Trainer Recertification 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. Successful attendees will receive an updated certificate of completion and trainer wallet card.
