Train the Trainer Courses: Forklift Certification

What Happens If I Fail The Forklift Training Exam?

The first thing to do if you fail your forklift training exam is, don’t panic! Here at Hard Hat Training, all of our courses allow you two attempts at taking the final exam. All of our exam questions can be answered with the knowledge and information you learn straight from our courses. 

If you fail the first attempt, don’t stress. Take a deep breath, go back through the course to refresh your mind with the information, and then try again. In this article, we will be covering all the necessary information you may need when it comes to taking our forklift training exam. To put your mind at ease before taking the course and the exam, we will be discussing what will be covered in the training, what to expect on the final exam, and what to do if you fail the first, second, or third time. 

Our OSHA Aligned Forklift Training Courses

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to provide a hazard-free work environment for their employees. One of the best ways to avoid hazards in the workplace is by ensuring that the employees have received quality safety training. Each workplace has different hazards, which must be made aware to employees. Therefore, OSHA requires that each safety training course covers certain topics. The goal is to make it so that employees know how to prevent, avoid, and eliminate hazards in their workplace 

Here at Hard Hat Training, all of our courses comply with OSHA Requirements and contain all of the necessary safety information related to the specific training topic. Our learning development and quality assurance teams spend hours researching so that we can provide companies with the best and most vital information.

OSHA Requirements on Forklift Training Courses

In regards to forklift operator training courses, OSHA requires that each training course includes the subsequent safety subjects:

Our Specific Course Topics

All of our forklift operator training courses cover why safety training is important, all potential hazards associated with forklifts, how to avoid and prevent hazards, and all the OSHA Requirements that are associated with operating a forklift. Our trainings also go into detail about other safety topics, such as:

How Long Do Forklift Courses Take?

We offer a variety of forklift safety training courses. Some of our courses are specific to a machine and some courses provide broader information about forklifts in general. These training courses can be anywhere from one to three hours. 

The amount of time it takes to complete these trainings also depends on the employee who is taking the course. If they have a tight work schedule, it’s possible that they may need to stop the course and continue it another time. If the employee learns better in a slower-paced environment, they will probably take longer to finish than an employee who learns better in a fast-paced environment. 

Do I Need a Driver’s License To Take This Course?

Federal OSHA has no requirements stating that a forklift operator must have a valid driver’s license. The only requirements are that the operator must take and successfully complete a forklift operator training course and receive a forklift certification.

Even though OSHA does not require one, your employer can require that you have a valid driver’s license before being able to operate a forklift. Many companies will not let you operate a forklift on their job site without one. So, the decision ultimately lies with your employer. 

What to Expect With Our Forklift Certification Test

As stated earlier, all of our exam questions are written to make you think. However, they were not written to make you fail. The goal is to test your knowledge and ensure that you have learned all the information you need to know. Each question is associated with a specific section in the training, testing your knowledge in all areas.

How Long Do The Tests Take?

The number of questions in each exam depends on the training course you take. Our longer training courses will most likely have more questions than our shorter training courses. 

Once again, the length of the exam itself solely depends upon the employee who is taking it. As a general rule though, 20-30 minutes should give the employee plenty of time to thoroughly answer each question. 

How Can I Pass the Exam on Try One?

The one sure way of passing the exam the first time is by paying attention to the training presentation. Read through each slide and try to remember all the information. There are many different techniques you can use to help you retain the information. Some techniques you can try are: 

All We Will Say Is “Yes!”

As stated earlier, all of our learning formats allow each learning employee two attempts at the final exam. If you fail the first attempt, recollect your thoughts, refresh your memory and then try again. If you fail the second attempt you will most likely have to purchase and take the course again before attempting a third time.
