Some places take forklift certification seriously, some don't. There's no way to get a driver's licence without going through some government run program, whereas companies provide forklift certification to their employees. My work just gives it to everyone. I got mine day 1 and had never driven a forklift before. My friend works at a Walmart warehouse and had to take like 20 hours of courses and driver training before getting his.

Ohh, what’s really going to bake your noodle later on, is why do forklift driver’s need to be recertified every 3 years but driver’s only need to be recertified every … never … when they’re 70 or something depending where you are?

y'know I never thought about it like that. I've had to get certified as a forklift driver twice in the time that I've had my current driver's license.
