Course Overview
This training course is designed to ensure you have the knowledge necessary for the safe operation of a powered industrial truck. You will be provided the opportunity to operate a forklift as well as complete a small obstacle course. A stand-up powered forklift, in which loads are carried with forks, will be used during the training course.
This course is currently offered in a hybrid format. This means that class takes place both online and in-person. The lecture training takes place live, online on a platform called Blackboard. The forklift training is scheduled by appointment and takes place one-on-one and in-person at the Savannah Tech Main Campus.
Students must attend the online course and pass the related assessment before they can move forward for the hands-on training.
Students who successfully complete the course receive a certificate of completion.
