For a lot of people, the idea of going back to school for heavy equipment operators sounds ridiculous. For others, however--especially those who know how competitive today's job market in the construction field is--it's a good idea. After all, the experience and education that you might get from an institute like the Heavy Equipment Operating School could easily mean the difference between rising to the top of a pile of job applications, and sinking to the bottom.

One of the great things about our courses here at HEOS is that they don't take a long time to complete. Our basic course lasts three weeks, and our advanced one lasts six weeks. Of course, the flip side to this fact is that both courses are very intensive, and consist of classes running five days a week, from 6:30 in the morning to 5:30 in the afternoon.

In these classes, you'll learn about both theoretical topics and more practical skills. Classes include topics such as Basic Plan and Blueprint Reading, Equipment Applications, and Curvatures--all things that you'd need to know as a heavy equipment operator. Plus, we allow you to spend plenty of time working with actual pieces of machinery, such as dozers, levelers, and even a dump truck.

A lot of students tend to think that the best part of the Heavy Equipment Operating School actually happens after you've graduated. Then, our job Placement Office helps connect you with a number of area employers, so that you can start building up your resume quickly and easily.
