Free OSHA Forklift Certification for U.S. Military Veterans

You wore the uniform. You don't owe us a thing.

At OSHA Operator, every single one of us has a family member, friend, or co-worker who served. We know what it's like to come home, hang up the uniform, and start the much harder fight: figuring out what comes next.

For a lot of veterans, "what comes next" looks like a $22–$30/hour warehouse, distribution, or manufacturing job. And that job almost always requires one piece of paper: an OSHA-aligned forklift operator certificate.

We refuse to be the company that lets $55 stand between a veteran and their next paycheck.

The promise

If you are a U.S. Military veteran. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Space Force, National Guard, or Reserves. we will waive your full admission fee. No catch, no upsell, no "starter package."

• Same self-paced, OSHA-aligned online training as every paying student
• Same-day digital certificate after you pass
• Same wallet card mailed to your door, free
• Same 3-year validity recognized by employers nationwide
