I'm interested in getting my forklift certification through Forklift Certification Institute. Can you clarify the requirements for the hands-on training component, including where it takes place, what equipment is needed, and if the online certificate is sufficient for employment before completing the hands-on portion? Additionally, how would a business go about arranging group certification for its employees, and what benefits are offered for group orders?
Navigate to 'https://www.forkliftcertification.us/'. Click on the 'FAQ' link (ID 37). Review the answers related to hands-on training and OSHA requirements to gather details on where it takes place and equipment needed. Determine if the online certificate is sufficient for employment before hands-on training. Click on the 'Group Orders' link (ID 11). Identify the process for arranging group certification and any stated benefits or features for group orders. Synthesize all collected information to answer the questions regarding hands-on training and group orders.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'FAQ' page and the 'Group Orders' page. The agent states that hands-on training must be completed 'at their facility' or 'at your place of employment' and that the online course provides the theoretical knowledge but 'there never is a substitute for hands-on learning'. The agent explicitly states that 'forklift certification is not complete till the forklift operator has demonstrated their driving skills on the equipment they will be using' as per OSHA requirements, implying the online certificate alone is not sufficient for employment. The agent describes the process for arranging group certification and any benefits or features offered for group orders, such as 'bulk discounts' or 'administrative tools' if found on the 'Group Orders' page.
