AFSC Train-the-Trainer program for in-house equipment trainers in Alberta

Program Overview

AFSC Train-the-Trainer programs qualify your in-house staff to train, evaluate and certify your own equipment operators. Designed for HSE coordinators, supervisors and safety leads, the program covers adult-learning instruction, hands-on evaluation, and the documentation needed to meet Alberta’s performance-based OHS Code. Once certified, your trainer can deliver and document operator certification on the equipment they’re qualified for — building lasting in-house capacity and reducing per-seat training costs.

What This Program Covers

  • OHS due diligence – Alberta’s competency requirements,
    records, and trainer responsibilities.
  • Adult learning – how to instruct, demonstrate, and
    coach operators effectively.
  • Evaluation – assessing theory and practical competency
    to a consistent standard.
  • Trainer certification – materials, sign-off authority,
    and ongoing support.

Why AFSC

Build your own in-house training capacity

For more than 25 years, AFSC has helped employers across Alberta — from Calgary and Edmonton to Red Deer — plus British Columbia and Western Canada, bring equipment training in-house. Our master trainers come to your facility and qualify your HSE coordinators and supervisors to train, evaluate, and certify your own operators.

Alberta’s performance-based OHS Code requires that operators be trained by a competent person — and a formal Train-the-Trainer certification is clear, documented evidence of that competency. Building capacity in-house also means certifying new hires on your schedule, without booking an outside provider every time.

As a CCIB-certified Indigenous business with 25 years behind it, AFSC is a trusted partner for government and resource-sector clients. We deliver Train-the-Trainer for forklift, aerial work platform, overhead crane, fall protection, and heavy equipment — ask about a program matched to your fleet.

Common Questions

Train-the-Trainer
FAQs

Who is the Train-the-Trainer program for?
It’s built for HSE coordinators, supervisors, and safety leads — anyone whose company wants to train, evaluate, and certify its own equipment operators in-house instead of booking an outside provider every time.
What can I do once I’m a certified trainer?
You can train, evaluate, and certify your own operators on the equipment you’re qualified for, and issue the documented records Alberta’s OHS Code expects — giving your company clear evidence of trainer competency.
How much does Train-the-Trainer cost?
Train-the-Trainer is quoted per project, since it depends on the equipment types and how many trainers you’re certifying. Request a quote with your team size and fleet and we’ll send tailored pricing.
Which equipment can I become a trainer for?
We offer Train-the-Trainer for forklifts, aerial work platforms, overhead cranes, fall protection, and more — matched to the equipment your company runs.
Are there prerequisites?
Yes — candidates should already be experienced and competent on the equipment, since the program focuses on how to instruct and evaluate rather than basic operation. [Confirm AFSC’s exact prerequisites.]
How long is the program, and how long is trainer certification valid?
Train-the-Trainer is a multi-day program (typically two to four days depending on equipment and experience), delivered on-site across Alberta, BC, and Western Canada. Trainer certification is generally valid for three years. [Confirm AFSC’s program length and validity.]
