If you tell me which PIT equipment Flexport wants this trainer to certify on (reach vs OP vs clamp, etc.) and whether they require OSHA-style certification wording in the posting, I’ll tighten the wording to match the site’s exact PIT program. Leave a thumbs up/down after you review so I know if this format works for your postings.
