Michael Doscher
I want to thank you again for the training you performed for my employees at Watson’s Produce. Not only did my employees appreciate the training they received, but I appreciate the additional documentation and signage you provide the make my job as General Manager easier. Recently I had a visit from OSHA that involved specifically looking for whether my employees were forklift safety trained. All I had to do was shown them the documentation of your training and with the safety signage and procedures you put in place. Watson’s Produce passed their inspection with ease! I look forward to seeing you again when new employees need certification and training updates are required.
Paul Lazecki, Watson’s Produce
Instructor was awesome and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend to others for training.
Brett Ramby
After speaking with Jonathan about the Forklift Safety Training class, I immediately rushed down to Port Orange from Jacksonville just to attend his class, which all took place the very same day as our initial conversation. The FST class was very clear & concise, not to mention Jonathan is a great instructor who prides himself on making sure that each individual in his class has firsthand knowledge when it comes to OSHA Regulations, as well as safely operating a Forklift, which all come into play during the actual driver’s test. I gladly recommend Jonathan’s Forklift Safety Training class to anyone who is looking to get their OSHA certification, whether it be for employment purposes, or even as a refresh course. You will definitely leave the class well prepared!
Courtney DuBose

This was one of the most memorable trainings we have had at Propulsion Technologies. William was very up beat, funny and kept everyone alert and was still able to teach us the proper use of forklifts. Gotta give FIVE stars.
