OSHA made this part easy . . . but a little confusing.
"All training and evaluation must be conducted by persons with the necessary knowledge, training and experience to train powered industrial truck operators and evaluate their competence."
An example of a qualified trainer would be a person who by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or. . " who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience has demonstrated the ability to train and evaluate powered industrial truck operators." - OSHA.gov

IMPORTANT:
OSHA does not certify, accredit or approve any forklift trainers
or training programs.
The responsibility for OSHA compliant forklift operator training
rests with the employer.
There are no special or additional “Train the Trainer”
requirements to use this site.
The person(s) responsible for operator training and evaluation are
strongly encouraged to read
and become familiar with the requirements of OSHA Standard 1910.178
for Powered Industrial Trucks.
