Heavy Equipment Operator Training in British Columbia

February 18, 2013

There are multiple options for heavy equipment operator training in British Columbia. The different types of training available are:

  • University training

Before you select a training option, it is a good idea to note any existing experience you currently have. If this is a new career for you, you will probably want to look for a program with an in-depth training program. However, if you have a construction or mechanics background you will probably want to find a program that specializes in operating the heavy machines. Answering these questions will help you determine the best school and training program for you.
