    FAQ

    Common questions about for employers

    Yes. OSHA places certification responsibility on the employer, not the worker. Employers must ensure each operator has completed formal instruction, practical training, and an on-site evaluation, and must keep written certification records. Our online course delivers the formal instruction portion and provides the documentation employers need for compliance.

    Yes. Organizations purchase seats at $45/operator from 2 seats, and less on volume (a single team seat is $55, the same as the individual course) with no minimum quantity. Volume invoicing, Email support within one business day, custom training schedules, and consolidated certification records are available for businesses training 10+ operators.

    Yes, for the formal instruction portion. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(2)(ii) explicitly allows formal instruction (lecture, discussion, interactive computer learning, video, written material) to be delivered online. However, OSHA also requires practical training on the actual equipment in the actual workplace plus an operator evaluation conducted by a qualified person, this on-site portion is the employer's responsibility. We provide a complete evaluation form for your supervisor.

    Yes. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(3)(ii) requires a practical evaluation conducted on the actual equipment in the operator's workplace. No online course, including ours, can replace this employer-conducted evaluation. We provide the evaluation form, instructions, and documentation your supervisor needs to complete it.

    OSHA requires refresher training when an operator has been involved in an accident or near-miss, has been observed operating unsafely, is assigned to a new type of truck, has workplace conditions change, or every three years as a baseline re-evaluation. Refresher training does not always require the full course, it may focus on the specific deficiency identified.

    A full refund is available within 30 days of purchase, until you pass the final exam or your wallet card ships, whichever comes first. After 30 days, once you pass the final exam, or once your card ships, the order is final. Starting the course does not end your eligibility. Exam retakes are always free and unlimited, and are separate from the refund policy.

    A same-day digital certificate (PDF) you can email to your employer immediately, an official wallet card by mail (we typically mail it the next business day; delivery is handled by the carrier), the OSHA-aligned operator evaluation form for your supervisor, and a copy of the written knowledge evaluation showing your score.

    Three years from the date of evaluation, per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(4)(iii). You must also be re-evaluated (refresher training) sooner if you are involved in an accident or near-miss, are observed operating unsafely, are assigned a new type of truck, or your workplace conditions change in a way that affects safe operation.
