CFT in 2023

CFT Certification 2023

The Certified Forklift Technician (CFT) training and certification program was developed by the Manufacturing Skills Standards Council & MHEDA Subject Matter Experts to provide a much-needed talent pipeline for new-hire forklift maintenance and repair technicians. This certification also can be used for incumbent technicians, as sought by MHEDA members.

We invite you to participate in a very brief survey regarding new hire training requirements that would be desirable by your dealership. Your feedback will help us finalize instructor recommendations and ensure the CFT curriculum is all encompassing and viable for technician recruitment at dealerships.

Please complete this Survey by June 29, 2023. Thank you!
