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. 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.

I have been training with Ives for 5 years and I appreciate the in-depth training and support I get from the staff and trainers. 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.

IVES has been an excellent addition to our safety program. Many of our partners who have received IVES equipment training have commented on the practical nature of the classes and how they apply to real world situations. This type of "buy-in" from our lead operators who have prior equipment experience has proven the validity and necessity of IVES equipment training in our company.

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. [The 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 trainer] has had a huge impact on my success!

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 your a large city or a small business this program will work for you.

Congratulations on turning 35! My testimony is nothing but praise! I was sent out on a Train the Trainer course in Abbotsford, British Columbia so that our company would have access to an in-house trainer as we live in a remote area of the world, Haida Gwaii, British Columbia. We had compared costs and realized that having our own trainer for counterbalanced forklift operation would create substantial financial gains and being able to train at any time due to staff turnover was too great to ignore. I am also able to keep a closer eye on any safety issues that may arise as I interact and work within the association. We have become a safer and more compliant company with the help of IVES. I was a little nervous about the Train the Trainer program, but that was all put to rest the day the course started. Rob from IVES explained everything to us in class and what to expect and course material was easy to follow and Rob was excellent at training us to be trainers. The course was very rewarding to both myself and our company. I highly recommend IVES to anyone who asks how I became a trainer.

I have never been so impressed with a training company before. The time, effort and care that was put into training our employees does not go without notice. I have personally set up training for our staff to get forklift certified and loader trainer certification for myself and a colleague. IVES makes sure their trainers are knowledgeable and prepared to teach all types of learners. Our employees were impressed with the trainer and that says a lot to me. I myself was inspired by the trainer in my train the trainer course to become the best trainer I could be. He held the class's attention while making it fun and interesting. The best part is that he made the information stick. All the topics and information were explained in a way that I could never forget. I think one of the greatest gifts is confidence, and IVES gave me the confidence to know that our employees were going out into the field with the best possible knowledge to keep them safe and keep each other safe. I do not have to question the ability of my staff as operators. Thank you IVES for training us the right way and giving us the confidence we need!

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.
