TRAINING RATES
Employee Forklift Training provides all of our prices upfront. There's never any need to call or email us for a quote like every other training provider out there.
The cost to train and re-train employees is a flat rate of $69 per person for each different type of equipment the employee requires training on. This means if an employee needs training on a sit-down counterbalanced forklift and a walkie rider, the cost for training would be $69 for the forklift and $69 for the walkie rider as it requires a different training program.
