This course is the first in a series of three Heavy Equipment Operations classes. Students must be certified in NCCER Core before enrollment in this course or be co-enrolled. This class covers the foundational skills of safety, pre-and post-operation checks, site planning and layout, and operations for a range of light-duty and heavy equipment.
Students receive hands-on training using simulators, which replicate real-life operating scenarios through rotation-motion platforms and high-resolution 3D displays for excavator and wheel loader equipment.
The HEO Level 1 course has eight modules: orientation to the trade, heavy equipment safety, identification of heavy equipment, basic operational techniques, utility tractors, introduction to earth moving, grades and vertical-mast sit-down counterbalance forklifts.
After successful completion of all eight modules and homework assignments, students will receive the NCCER Heavy Equipment Operations 1 credential.
** Students should have basic computer skills, basic math skills and be able to use a calculator to complete NCCER modules testing and completion of homework assignments in CANVAS.
