Instructor training normally is held at an equipment sales facility or at the campus of a junior college, community college, or vocational or technical school. Forklift manufacturing companies sometimes offer train the trainer, practical, hands-on programs.

Participants normally should have satisfactory test scores, participation and demonstration during the program to be able to qualify for trainer certification.

It is assumed that the trainee taking the instructor program will have prior experience operating forklifts.

Participants will know how to demonstrate to their students various aspects of lift truck use, like for example navigating the lift truck in narrow isles or moving and stacking materials.

The trainers would in the end be responsible for making their own curriculum which satisfies certain guideline regulations in terms of the topics presented, such as Operation and Safety. For example, the topic of Safety should include an understanding of how to identify potential hazards. The topic of Operation includes instruction about connecting and using, instruments and controls and steering and maneuvering the fork.
