I lied and said I was forklift qualified and I'm actually not. I start tomorrow morning. I've used a forklift before a couple times and I've moved a couple pallets around but nothing major.
How fucked am I?

OP what is forklift qualificaiton? does that involve an actual cert? if not, just tell them you have experience with forklifts but you're rusty and need to relearn, or something

This is your best bet OP
OP this post actually made me laugh, something about you letting it get this late before realising maybe you might have fucked up plus the Cowboy Bebop image.
Just fucking admit to it man.
I've driven forklifts before. They're easy to get the hang of and it IS like riding a bicycle in that you never "unlearn"
Just hop on it and give it your best shot. I've worked with a few people who bullshit and say "I used to drive a forklift all the time at my old job!" then barely pass the certification at the current employer. They're still driving the forklift today.

Just go do it OP
a lot of people get jobs through who they know not what they know and if you're smart enough you'll figure it out as you go seeing as you already know basic movement and operating
It's not just about the actual capabilities, my dude.
Did you sign anything saying you're qualified? If your employer somehow ends up in trouble with the state because they have a non-qual forklift operator, you might be on the hook for damages.
Watch a tutorial if you did it before to remember and tomorrow just "test it out a bit to see if there is anything wrong with it"
Just wing it bro. Mention you're kinda rusty, and just did it was needed previously.
Maybe see if there's a course they'd let you take to refresh your skills.

In my country you need a certificate
So you would need to show that certificate when you start on your new job

No fuck this. How can you get trained in the first place if everyone requires you to be experienced anyway. Were you born in a life where your parents own a warehouse? No
Just watch YouTube videos lmao
