FORKLIFT OPERATOR SAFETY COURSES IN ALBERTA

With a wealth of experience on all makes and models of Forklift trucks and 20 years in Alberta I have developed a program that has my students talking. My simple approach to teaching with different styles of adult learning techniques and a way of getting my students to obtain the information that I relay in my courses are all part of my personal approach to safety.

The onsite courses are a valuable asset to companies ensuring their staff is trained on the equipment that they will be driving on a daily basis. All courses are site-specific incorporating your company safety policies and safe operating procedures pointing out hazards in your environment. My courses include OH&S, CSA guidelines, Forklift stability, load centres, pre-shift inspections, safe operating procedures and refuelling, simply everything you need to become a safe and successful operator.

Safety training courses are offered in Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and anywhere else where it is needed in the province of Alberta.

We recive nothing but positive feedback from our employees who attend Patrick’s courses. The content is relevant and patrick always seems to find a way to make the course fun and memorable.

Patrick Dowden is an excellent Instructor, he took the time to ensure that all our staff understood the course completely and felt comfortable on the forklift for the ‘hands on’ portion of the class. The course was informative and professional and we all ended the day with a smile on our face.
Thank you.

Our company has been getting our lift truck training from Patrick for about 11 years now. Patrick has always been very accommodating when it came to our bookings times, the size of the group and the different locations. We have had both new certifications and re-certifications done with Patrick on both our stand up and rough terrain units. Patrick has been in this industry for many years and he always comes to class with new interesting stories. A very professional service with a fair price.

Just wanted to pass along some positive feedback from the guys who took the course with Patrick. Four of the operators approached and let me know how well it went. The content was relevant and presentation was down to earth. One of operators that has been with the company for 44 years said it was by far the best course for forklift training he has had.

I have known Patrick for many years (10+) and use his services often as we are a bigger company that requires all employees to have a license. He is very accommodating and works around your schedule without hesitation. Works at your pace as he is passionate and wants to make sure you’re confident in your training! No doubt that I will continue to use Patrick and so should you!!
