There is training required when operating a forklift. Some states require a fork lift license to be obtained.
Forklift licenses are required to legally operate forklifts. Job openings are also available for those who would like to become forklift operators in warehouses.
It means you're certified to operate a forklift. What all that entails depends on where you're at. Some countries require you to have a forklift license. In the US, there is no such requirement (although you are required to have a drivers license if you operate it on a public roadway), and the certification will be done through company training. Some companies will be very specific in what type of forklift you're certified on - e.g., standard forklift, Moffet/Princeton/Donkey or other truck mounted forklift, skid steer or integrated toolcarrier with fork attachments, etc.
The quaifications required to operate a forklift is to have a valid CDL license and take a course in forklift driving. A test on paper is also required to see if you understand the operation of a fork lift.
A license is not required to drive a forklift in the United States however you will have to usually become certified in the store you are operating the fork lift. However you do need to at least be 18 years of age to operate heavy machinery.

In every state, you're going to need to get a commercial driver's license (CDL). In some states, additional certification is required to operate a forklift.
If it's going to be operated on public roadways, you do, and the vehicle needs to display a license plate. If it's solely on private property, no.
I think you have to be licensed to operate farm equipment on a public road, but the minimum age for that is usually lower than for a regular license.
