Training for moving companies, with real prices.
Training for moving companies comes in four kinds: office moving, crew and staff courses, sales and owner coaching, and association certifications. Here are the ones a mover can enroll in today, what each covers, and what it costs.
Training for moving companies: office moves.
Office moving is its own trade. The estimate, the paperwork, the equipment, and the way a crew works a building are all different from a house. This is the course we point movers to when they want to do commercial work properly.

International Office Moving Institute (IOMI)
FeaturedOnline office moving course and certification · Madison, MS
Ed Katz's Certified Office Mover course. It teaches office moving from the first walkthrough to move day: how to write a scope of services that says what the customer does and what you do, how to estimate a job in labor hours instead of weight, how to hand the sale to operations, and how to handle desks, file cabinets, and computers without damage. Katz built the method over 20 years running a company that handled more than 50,000 local office moves.

What good training covers.
A course is worth the money when your people do something differently on the next job. Look for these before you buy.
A way to estimate that a sales rep can repeat without the owner.
A written scope: what the customer does, and what you do.
Handling for the items that cause claims: file cabinets, computers, glass, and art.
The handoff from sales to dispatch, so the crew knows what was promised.
Building rules: elevators, loading docks, and certificates of insurance.
A test or sign-off at the end, so you know who actually learned it.
Before you pay for a course.
Most training fails after the purchase, not before it. The license gets bought, two people log in, and nothing changes on the trucks.
Name one person who owns the rollout and reports who finished.
Put sales and operations through the same course, not only the crew.
Block paid time for it. Nobody finishes a course after a 10-hour move.
Use it on a real job within a week, while it is fresh.
Check how the license renews, and whether new hires are covered.
Common questions
Short answers for owners looking at training.
It depends on where you lose money. Claims and slow jobs point to crew training. Low booking rates point to sales training. Jobs that go wrong between the phone call and the truck point to office training. If you want to take on commercial work, office moving is a separate skill and worth a dedicated course.
The estimate is built on labor hours and the number of items to handle, not on weight. The customer has homework to do before move day, so a written scope of services matters. The building sets the rules: elevator reservations, loading dock times, and insurance certificates. And the work usually happens after hours against a hard deadline.
It is the designation of the International Office Moving Institute, the training company founded by Ed Katz. A moving company earns it by putting its staff through IOMI's office moving course.
Crew and staff subscriptions on this list start at about $60 to $100 per month for a small team. Single crew courses start at $39.99. Association courses run from $100 to $300 per course. Owner and sales courses are $997 to $2,997, and IOMI's office moving course is listed at $4,999 per location per year for IAM members. Every price here comes from the provider's own site, so confirm it before you buy.
Almost all of it. Every provider on this list delivers online, most of it on demand, so staff take it at their own pace on a computer or a phone without taking a crew off the schedule for a classroom day. Thomason also sells DVD sets for group sessions, and the coaching programs add live calls.
Everyone who touches the job, not only the crew. For commercial work that means the salesperson who walks the office and writes the scope, the dispatcher who books the elevator and the crew, and the crew leads who run move day. Training only the movers leaves the estimate and the handoff unchanged.
