General de Alquiler de Maquinaria (GAM), a Spanish multinational specializing in global machinery management, reports a rise in demand for training in operating platforms and forklifts. This increase is linked to a recovery in services and industry, prompting companies to either hire new staff or train existing personnel to ensure safe and effective use of these machines.
Another factor contributing to this higher demand is the employment opportunities for those lacking qualifications, encouraging more comprehensive and versatile preparation of future candidates. Most participants in the courses offered by GAM use this training to enhance their knowledge and skills to re-enter the job market as soon as possible. Additionally, public employment services, unions, business associations, and local development agencies support this type of training.
Today, GAM directly provides and certifies the training it offers, both internally to establish Quality and Safety Policies for its workers according to market needs, and externally through open and customized courses, focusing primarily on the competencies of its clients as well as their safety when handling various tasks.
GAM's training service is part of the Integrated Management System (SGI) ISO 9001:2008 Quality Standard. This ensures that the training provided by GAM meets all the quality standards that should be required by current and future clients.

- International Standard ISO 18878:2013 for Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), for companies with an international presence that need to train and certify their workers with an international certificate.
