Our backhoe training course provides operators with a solid foundation in safety standards, preventative maintenance, and best operating practices. This decreases the risk of incidents while increasing productivity and operator awareness. Course content is delivered through a combination of multimedia presentations and discussions. This content is then reinforced through supplemental workbooks, handouts, and a written test. In addition to classroom theory, our backhoe certification course features practical hands-on experience. As a result, operators are given the knowledge they need before operating a backhoe for the first time.
