Forklifts, also known as powered industrial trucks, are vital tools used to lift and transport cargo in construction and a variety of other industries. OSHA requires employers to ensure that all operators are forklift certified through formal instruction, practical training and a performance evaluation. This online forklift certification course fully complies with OSHA's general industry and construction standards for forklift operator training. Throughout the two-hour course, you'll learn about all formal instruction topics needed to earn a forklift license and safely operate Class I — Class VII forklifts.

Forklift Certification Testing Requirements To earn your OSHA forklift certificate and certification card, you must complete each of the course's six lessons, pass six lesson quizzes and pass a comprehensive final exam. You have an unlimited number of attempts to pass each quiz and the final exam. Lesson quizzes include 10 questions, and you must score at least 80% to pass. You have 180 minutes to complete the final exam, which includes 25 questions and covers all course topics. You must score at least 70% to pass the exam.

After you successfully pass the final exam, OSHA requires you to receive hands-on training from your employer and complete an evaluation of operator performance in the workplace before you earn your official forklift license. We'll provide a Forklift Operator Evaluation Form that your employer can use to rate your proficiency in key operator tasks.
