Household Goods Industry Training

*Please check this page regularly as trainings may be changed or rescheduled.

The commission offers free training for household goods moving companies.

Each person named in the carrier's application must attend the course as a condition to receive permanent authority.

Participants can choose to take either a live or virtual training to meet this requirement.

Live Virtual Trainings

Live virtual trainings are a one-day course led by an instructor. Currently, all live trainings are being held on Microsoft Teams. Please note: Instructor-led Household Goods Carrier trainings will be canceled when fewer than three companies or five individuals register. 

  • Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025 (8:15am-5pm), held virtually on Microsoft Teams.

Online Self-Paced Trainings

Online trainings are self-paced trainings that you can take at your own pace without an instructor. You can stop and start the online training at any time, but you must complete every module within 30 days to meet the training requirement, including the final knowledge test.

Just like the live virtual training, this training has three sections: Consumer Protection (modules 1.1 - 1.12), Annual Reports (module 2.1), and Transportation Safety (modules 3.1-3.9).

If you complete the training in one session, each module will take you to the next section upon completion. You also can select each module from your dashboard when you’re ready to take the next one.
