High Velocity Equipment Training Multi-Equipment Program
Our 12 week course covers Basic Heavy Equipment Safety Training and Basic to Advanced Operational Techniques. Student intakes are approximately every four weeks on a rolling intake. Class & field time is scheduled in 7 hour shifts (including time for required Simulator training) between the hours of 8:00am and 11:00pm, five days a week, with weekends off. This schedule gives students the opportunity to practice night training similar to their careers in heavy equipment. Additional simulator training time not included with regular classes is encouraged to build hand/eye coordination and is available to students outside of regular class hours at no extra charge.
