Why Take This Course

The Excavator is often seen as just a big hole digger when, in fact, in the hands of a properly trained operator it is a very versatile machine.  An effective operator is one who can maximize the machine’s output without stressing the engine and other components.  This not only saves you maintenance costs, but also increases operational efficiency and safety while reducing downtime.

To ensure that your operators are as skilled as they ought to be, both practical and classroom (theoretical) training is recommended.  They are both necessary as classroom alone does not allow for an instructor to see and refine an operator’s working skills, and practical training on its own does not afford the operator the opportunity to learn the nuances of the entire range of mechanical, operational and safety features.

Who Should Attend?

Any person who operates an excavator.
