The Very Best Excavator Training in Berkshire

Our excavator training courses will give you the knowledge, skills and expertise to work as a plant operator in the construction industry.

As a plant operator working throughout Berkshire, you will operate plant machinery to lift, excavate, transfer loads and move materials to given locations and specifications. You will also learn how to work safely and efficiently as part of a team and how to prepare and operate different types of plant machinery and equipment depending on which pathway you choose to take. For instance, you may wish to specialise in areas such as road/rail, erecting and dismantling, forming, transporting loads, cranes and specialist lifting, excavating, constructing or attachments. The Diploma and Certificate are differentiated by the safety, complexity and size issues surrounding a piece of machinery.

As part of this extensive excavator training course, you will learn how to conform to general health, safety and welfare in the workplace and how to conform to productive working practices in your Berkshire workplace. All the units in the qualification relate to the skills and knowledge required to become a plant operator, and each pathway allows you to specialise in the area you require to become qualified in, ensuring you are competent to undertake the job role.

You will be required to complete all mandatory units and the required number of optional units for each pathway. These differ for each pathway.
