Training and Certifications

“Over the last 25 plus years, we have relied on United Rentals to supply us with trench boxes, slide rail systems and trench shoring. In the last few years we have utilized more of United Rentals services, which includes United Academy. This service helps to capture employees training dates, which training the employee has taken and when the training is up for renewal. We have also incorporated Competent Person Excavation and Competent Person Confined Space into our training matrix and have had great success with it. These two training programs are by far the best in the excavation and confined space training industry.”

I wanted to reach out and let you know what a tremendous member of your team, Mr. Felix Garcia is. He was extremely polite, approachable, and professional with the right amount of fun. It must be tough training a group of people that are not used to sitting still for 6 hours, he handled this perfectly. His approach to the class was perfect and offered the right amount of hands on training and light-heartedness to get us through. I can honestly say it was the best training I’ve had. If I could request him to handle all of our certificate training throughout Deployed, I certainly would. He was the best.

I wanted to extend yet another huge THANK YOU for accommodating our “emergency” AWP class this past weekend. I know that herding all of those cats and doing so on the weekend to boot was not the most fun you’ve had in your life – but you did it with such kindness and patience. I really, truly appreciate it.

We have relied on United Rentals for many years to provide our business with safe and reliable equipment to assist with our operation. It only made sense to have the same organization that provides a flawless equipment rental service to also provide us with the knowledge to use and operate the equipment in a safe and professional manner. I was very impressed with your program and the added features as well as your professionalism.

It was a terrific class and learning opportunity for all of us involved. The instruction was great as well as all of the great insight given by the participants. It is amazing the information that can be attained in a shared learning environment. Class act all the way around to be sure.

Thank you again for coming through in such a short notice. Without your help my project would have come to a screeching halt. I look forward to working with you and your team in the near future!

I wanted to thank you again for coming in to see us and training the Fall protection working from heights course. We will certainly utilize United Rentals for our upcoming training needs you are very informative and the class really appreciated the time you took to ensure that we got all the information necessary to work from heights in the field.

Renee and Taylor are truly an asset to your organization. The need was great on this site for my guys and your team came through with flying colors! The Yates organization was very impressed as well. I am very impressed with the United Academy software. Once again UR is first and if not first definitely the best at whatever idea you guys decide would be beneficial to your customer. I think the caption says it all-"TOGETHER WE ARE UNITED!”

All techs reported the lift training was so valuable they all learned things about lifts they did not know! I appreciate your assistance!

I have been a certified operator for close to 11 years prior to becoming a trainer. As a result of this course I learned more about the “why” in 4 days than I had in in 11 years.

I also wanted to just say in my years of working and having to take classes, I’ve learned more in the last 2 weeks than in the last 10 years. You guys are spot on!!

United Academy is incredible and convenient. I am very impressed with not only the Blended Rough Terrain Forklift Operator Certification product but also the friendly customer service that I have received thus far.

Train the Trainer Program: Good program, I learned a lot! Four days is a long program, but I found myself looking forward to it every day! Thanks!
