In this course the student will learn general construction site safety, excavator terminology, hazard identification, prestart and post-start procedures, operating procedures such as loading trucks, bulk excavation, lifting loads in crane mode, backfilling, shut-down procedures.

This course is competency-based with a nominal number of training hours required, which means that you need to do enough hours until you become a competent excavator operator. Everybody’s learning abilities are different therefore some participants may finish the course before others. There are no extra fees for students that need more time on the machine. There are no discounts on fees should less time be required.
