1. ur a scam, no one likes you
2. check osha 's website for forklitf certification places, ps. the warehouse might require that company
3. not so much a scam but you can get a certification cheaper, provided you can already opperate a fork lift, your most likely paying for the job placement service also, so can you already opperate a fork lift? as in know the safety protocols and all that stuff, if not it sounds like a good deal, I drive one every day but I'm a heavy equiptment mechanic and I guess Im already suppose to know how to opperate it, no certification required, but I'll bet OSHA would have a fit if they seen some of the stuff I do with one,
4. There is no such thing as a forklift license. Yes, training is usually required, but there STILL is no such thing as a forklift license (And that training is an annual thing - every year).
5. SCAM !! When you get a job, it's the responsibility of the employer to train you to use whatever equipment is required to do the job. If that includes a fork truck, then he'll train you to use it. A lot of the requirements for training the people come from the company that has his liability insurance. Just as a rule of thumb - You shouldn't have to pay a dime to get a job. If someone wants $$$$ up front, or guarantees you a job if you do X first, they're scams....
