Heavy Equipment Training
On-Site Training/Courses
Sending employees to distant training facilities can be extremely costly and disrupt scheduling. We understand these concerns and believe employee development should not be compromised due to such difficulties.
Our experienced and qualified instructors can travel to you, providing your company or agency with quality on-site classes and/or hands-on instruction without excessive costs or schedule overruns.
ITS - Concept of Training On-the-Job Site
With today's advancing technology, government regulations and the need for greater safety, productivity and efficiency, having competent individuals in the workplace is essential. We believe that on-the-job training is an important aspect of the learning process.
Our purpose is to assist companies and government agencies in meeting today's challenges by providing quality and professional instruction, so that the learning process can be both safe and productive.
Students conduct maintenance on Cat 236B skid steer loader at Port Allen as part of the 10 week heavy equipment operator training program.

- Greater Efficiency & Productivity

Our instructors have many years of practical experience and take a non-intimidating, no-nonsense approach in their presentations.
