Onsite Forklift Training vs. Offsite: Which Is Right for Your Team?

Should your forklift training be on-site or off-site? Compare pros and cons, and see why Charleston Forklift Training specializes in on-site OSHA programs all across the Lowcountry. 

When it’s time to certify or recertify your forklift operators, you have two main options: onsite training or offsite training.

On-site Training Advantages

• Familiar Equipment: Operators learn on the exact machines they’ll use daily.
• Real-World Environment: Training in your workspace helps address specific hazards and workflows.
• Scheduling Flexibility: We come to you — weekdays, weekends, or after hours.

When Off-site Training Makes Sense

• If you don’t yet have your own equipment
• For small teams that can travel easily
• When you want to combine training with other off-site events

At Charleston Forklift Training, our focus is on-site OSHA-compliant training — because we believe the best learning happens in the real-world conditions your operators face every day.
