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, and, beginning in 2023, this program will roll out an extensive drone curriculum through which students will learn about the benefits of drone usage on job sites and in various careers.
Upon graduation, students will have the option to pursue a number of career opportunities.
