In-House Evaluator Training

If your operation has many personnel in need of forklift training, individual courses can be an inefficient solution. That’s why Lonestar Forklift offers in-house evaluator training for all types of equipment. Whether you’re looking for boom lift, telehandler, or forklift evaluator training, we can help. These courses allow you to choose one member of your operation to become an evaluator for all other personnel. Once an aspiring operator completes their theory training, the in-house evaluator can deliver the practical component. This eliminates the need to bring a trainer onsite or to have operators travel to a training facility. As a result, you’re getting the same quality training you need in less time and with less hassle.

Please note that this course does not certify participants as full instructors. Upon completion of either course listed below, participants are certified to deliver practical assessment courses. This means that aspiring operators must complete an operating theory course before the evaluator can fully certify them.

We’ll work with you to provide the perfect training solutions for your needs, budget, and timeline.
