Our Online Trainer Recertification Program is a refresher program for trainers of forklift, mobile elevating work platform, loader and excavator operators. We encourage all IVES Certified Trainers to attend a Trainer Recertification class once every three years.
This 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.
If you have IVES-issued credentials to train operators of scissor lifts or aerial boomlifts issued before June 2019 please be advised that you are required to attend the MEWP Trainer Update offered at no additional cost as a part of this Trainer Recertification Program. For efficiency, the MEWP update information is withheld until after other, non-MEWP Certified Trainers have been dismissed from the program. You must successfully complete this portion of the program in order to keep your MEWP-related training credentials valid.
