Forklift Training in Ottawa

It’s not only dangerous to operate a forklift without proper training, but it’s also against the law. That’s why our forklift training in Ottawa ensures every operator is trained, tested, and certified to meet Ontario’s Ministry of Labour and CSA B335 standards. This training is meant to teach you genuine skills, not just how to cross things off a list, whether you’re new to lift trucks or need a refresher. You’ll gain knowledge in safe operations, hazard awareness, and inspection procedures that apply across warehouses, logistics centers, and industrial yards.

We make learning accessible, practical, and focused on workplace realities:

  • Covers Class 1, 4, and 5 lift trucks
  • Certified instructors with real-world experience
  • Valid certification for three years

Our training offers the flexibility to match your availability without compromising quality. You’ll learn everything from safety checks to the stability triangle—all built into a well-paced format.

Forklift accidents are preventable. When operators understand both the theory and the practice, they make better decisions on the job.
