Frequently Asked Questions
Why not use full sized equipment?
The use of mid sized equipment is a government recommended safety measure to ensure lower risk and liability to the students who are unfamiliar with the safety requirements on a construction job site. Smaller equipment can drastically minimize the risk of injury or fatality during the practical training weeks.
How many students do you train at a time?
Although our instructors are industry standard professionals with years of experience in the field, training smaller groups at a time can allow each student to receive the most hands on training and valuable equipment seat time. We have a minimum requirement of 10 students and have trained up to 18 students at a time.
What types of projects can be completed during the practical training portion?
Minor infrastructure projects can be completed during the training, saving the community thousands of dollars in construction costs. Projects like community road repairs, ditches and sloping, driveway construction, trenching and excavation, brushing, clearing, pad construction, etc.
Who is eligible to take the training?
Any community member who is 18 years or older is eligible. (Allowances can be made for younger) Students do not need a drivers license or high school diploma.
