Heavy Equipment Repair and Operation
Schoharie Campus
Experienced construction professionals and equipment operators are in high demand.
This two-year program is based on the National Center for Construction
Education and Research (NCCER) curriculum. Students will learn
how to operate and maintain large, construction-related equipment.
Types of equipment may include backhoes, dozers, front end loaders,
and excavators. Students will also learn how to diagnose and repair
common issues with diesel engines and heavy machines.
The program enjoys specialized training at corporate sites, as well
as instructional opportunities at our education centers, field trip
experiences, internships and job shadowing opportunities. In addition,
students will have the opportunity to practice essential skills on our
state-of-the-art simulators to further enhance the learning
experience. Students also learn about drone usage on job sites and in
various careers.
Students who pass the written exams and performance tests gain a
portable skill set and may earn professional certifications (including
OSHA 10), which are recognized by contractors and employers across
the country.
Upon graduation from this program, students will have the option to
pursue a number of career opportunities.
