Heavy Equipment Operator Training Level One

Our Heavy Equipment Operator Training Level One is a three-week course designed to provide even the most novice student a practical understanding of basic heavy equipment operation.  You will learn the essential skills of earthmoving, including digging, trenching and loading; safety and preventive maintenance; and construction site fundamentals such as grades and elevations, soil properties and more.

BTI utilizes state-of-the-art CAT Simulators including Graders, Dozers, Excavators, and Wheel Loaders combined with seat time on real equipment to give cutting edge education. Simulators allow new operators to train on machine operation, gain application knowledge, and develop skills in a controlled and safe environment; while allowing experienced operators to refine skills, break bad habits, and address progress through the virtual training exercises. Hours on real equipment will be at BTI’s land lab or at job sites working side by side with our instructors, refining what was learned on the simulators.

BTI’s industry-trained instructors have decades of experience in operating heavy equipment and can guide students through the course and share their years of experience.
