The Heavy Equipment Operation Program incorporates the National Center for Construction, Education, and Research (NCCER) curriculum. NCCER certified instructors provide hands-on training using motor graders, dozers, excavators, loaders, backhoes and directional dill training. Students check grade using GPS equipment and hand and laser levels. The program also includes theory training in rollers, asphalt and concrete paving equipment. Students may complete internships during their one-year course of study and, upon successful completion of the program, receive a Heavy Equipment Operation Certificate. The Heavy Equipment Operations program receives outstanding support from Murphy Tractor and Foley Equipment that allows the students the opportunity to train with late model John Deere and Caterpillar equipment.
