Heavy Equipment Operations will prepare students to operate a variety of equipment under the guidance of an experienced instructor. This two-year program will follow the NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research) curriculum as well as locally developed enhancements. The program provides instruction on the operation, general maintenance, and safety specific to the heavy equipment operations field. The two-year course will allow students to earn OSHA certifications, as well as a NYSED technical endorsement. Students will experience lab time of approximately 1.5 hours per day. During lab time, students are engaged in hands-on learning activities with various forms of heavy equipment.
