Overview of our Heavy Equipment Operator School

A quality heavy equipment training program not only has the best instructors, but plenty of equipment to ensure that each student gets a wealth of operating experience. With over 70 pieces of equipment such as bulldozers, front-end loaders, skid steers, and several others, HCA is the only school in the nation that guarantees one piece of equipment per student. And our instructors know first-hand what it takes to be successful in the heavy construction business.

A “Hands On’ Heavy Equipment Training Program

All HCA programs are delivered in a way that the “hands on” learner can really grasp. A dynamic combination of classroom instruction, field demonstrations and, most importantly, in-the-seat training affords students of all academic abilities the opportunity to immediately apply newly learned skills and rapidly reach proficiency.

We are continuously monitoring and adapting our curriculum to best suit our students for current economic states, weather conditions and industry demand. This will ensure that no matter when you attend HCA you will never be using outdated or irrelevant techniques.

Our heavy equipment operator training procedures are adapted from years of education experience, as well as constant contact with industry professionals, so we can always be on top of what employers are looking for right now.
