Training Requirements
All Foresters and Equipment Operators companies are responsible for maintaining their own training records.
Once your training is complete, click and fill out the IDL – Industry Training Completion Memo on the right and email it to IDL at mhicks@idl.idaho.gov. Anyone requesting to become certified must be sponsored by an Industry Contractor.
Once IDL receives your completion memo, your Qualification Card will be emailed to you.
Local contacts for in-person training can be found below.
Email all training questions to mhicks@idl.idaho.gov.
