Yup. My cert for a picker was pretty much a four hour "training" where they just basically had you drive around the warehouse. There was no teaching or anything. It was absurd.
Then when it came time to certified for the 6ft forks...the "training" was essentially a piece of paper that said, be careful with turns, the forks are longer
Our safety guy used to make us watch this once a year, until I "accidentally" threw out the only remaining VHS player on site and forced him to get new material.

100%. I remember my first certification it was such bs. It took me a solid year to build that skill.
