WHAT DOES A CLASS COST?

Honestly, it all depends...IFT can cater the class to your specific needs by either expanding on or eliminating some portions of the class. We use a standardized class cost calculator that takes everything from mileage, sacrificial material costs, lodging (if required), and more into the final bid for your class. Please contact us for further inquiries.

WHAT DO WE AS A DEPARTMENT NEED TO PROVIDE?

Again, this will vary slightly with how you choose to build the program we will deliver. At a minimum, we need a classroom with AV hookups (HDMI), a projector and screen, and adequate seating for however many people you intend on training.

​

If we deliver any hands-on training: 

-All students will need full structural PPE including eye and ear protection. We always have backup eye/ear protection in case someone forgets some. IFT cannot provide any additional PPE.

-All students and observers must sign a standard release of liability prior to operating/observing any power saw operations.

-IFT requires site access prior to the training for prop construction/setup. This can be arranged prior to the training date.

-It is strongly advised to incorporate whatever rotary saw complement you currently operate into this training. This way students can run and practice with the actual saws they'll be using on calls. IFT will provide two rotary saws (one Husky and one Stihl) for the duration of the training, as well as one Milwaukee battery-powered saw. We recommend bringing as many rotary saws as possible from your department cache.

-The props need a significant area to setup and work best when distanced significantly from each other to combat the associated high noise levels. If a large area like a training center or graded lot is not available, we can make different arrangements and use one prop at a time.

-This list is not all encompassing and we will work with you as best we can to alleviate any concerns and to make this a quality training for your people!
