bulldozer COURSE
2 WEEK 80 HOUR COURSE
National Training is thrilled to offer an expanded range of training courses specifically designed to meet a wider variety of needs. As a Heavy Equipment Operator School, we understand that not everyone wants to train on multiple pieces of equipment simultaneously. That is why we have developed individual 2-week training courses for four different types of heavy equipment: bulldozer, articulated loader, excavator, and tractor loader backhoe.
why choose this course?
you've got options
Train on one piece of equipment at a time, or take our Heavy Now Course to train on all 4. Our bulldozer operator training program is ideal for students who want to focus on mastering one machine before moving on to others.
