If you’ve done some Google searching, you’ll see that there are several options when it comes to receiving your Forklift Operator Certification.

You can go the online route, which is typically what most prospective and experienced operators will do. Alternatively, some employers do offer in-person classes, which usually consist of multi-day sessions.

I always recommend searching for a course and certification that is:

• Affordable – A course should never cost over $100.
• Accessible – You should be able to learn at your own speed, on your own time, and in a way that matches how you learn
• Accepted – Always ensure that whoever you certify with guarantees acceptance and provides a money back guarantee.

Thanks to the scalability of online courses, providers of online certification courses are able to provide legitimate certifications online at a fraction of the cost of an in-person class.

The average cost for an online OSHA Forklift Operator Certification is $55-75.

Recertifications are almost always more affordable than a certification, primarily due to the fact that the recertification is meant to be a refresher, rather than a full blown course.

The average cost for an online provider for an OSHA Forklift Operator Recertification is $45-65.

Classes that teach existing and aspiring Forklift Operators how to maneuver a forklift typically involve multiple days spent in a classroom setting (between 10 and 16 hours). After the class is completed, the operator must complete a practical evaluation, which is done with the aid of a trainer.

The average cost for an in-person Forklift Operator Class is about $150-200.

Not all providers are created equal when it comes to what they offer and cover in their Forklift Operator Certification or Recertification.

When looking at your options, always make sure that the course you purchase includes the following:
