Our Heavy Equipment Operator training program is currently a five (5) week course/eight (8) hours per day.  Our courses are scheduled every six (6) weeks to accommodate extra time in case of cancellations due to inclement weather.

This is an entry-level program for individuals who want to learn how to operate heavy equipment in a variety of industrial settings. The program enables individuals, with or without prior experience, to enter the workforce with all the safety training required in this field.

The theory component is designed to deliver a comprehensive understanding of equipment maintenance, heavy equipment system operations, and proper site management emphasizing the importance of quality and safety in these areas. The practical component is focused on operating techniques and practices and is conducted in an actual construction site atmosphere. The practical component includes the operation of six (6) pieces of equipment including: Excavator, Dozer, backhoe, front-end loader, skid steer (bobcat) and sheep's foot (vibrator/packer).
