Although a certificate might seem like just a little bit of paper, it can mean the difference between a job and unemployment for many people. This is especially the case in construction. In order to be considered seriously for many jobs, you have to have a Heavy Equipment Operator Certificate--and in order to get a Heavy Equipment Operator Certificate, you have to get some training.

Where can you get this training? One excellent place is the Heavy Equipment Operating School. The Heavy Equipment Operating School was founded in 1997 in Eugene, Oregon, and has been since then providing many men and women just like you with certificates, and more importantly, useful experience.

The Heavy Equipment Operating School offers two different classes. The first of these is the basic class, which runs for three weeks, five days a week, ten hours a day. The second is the advanced course, which adds another three weeks of courses like Utility Lines, Pipe Laying, and Equipment Interaction. Plus, of course, you get plenty of time handling the actual equipment.

But the help doesn't stop there. In addition to helping you get the skills you need to succeed, the Heavy Equipment Operating School also helps hook you up with actual employers, through its Job Placement Office. We also want to make it clear that financial assistance is available for eligible applicants. If you're interested in applying, or simply learning more about us, please call 1-800-265-7535.
