Mini Excavator Training Re-Certification

If you’ve previously completed mini excavator training, you may be eligible for re-certification. Re-certification helps operators stay up-to-date with current safety standards and best practices in mini excavator operation. Contact our team to discuss your eligibility and schedule a re-certification session. 

Mini Excavator Blended Training

Advantage Learning Solutions provides a blended mini excavator training option that combines the convenience of online learning with the benefits of in-person, hands-on training. This format allows participants to complete the theoretical portion of their mini excavator training at their own pace online, covering key concepts such as safety regulations, control fundamentals, and hazard identification. Once the online modules are completed, participants attend an in-person session to practice and apply their skills on actual mini excavator equipment. 

Our blended mini excavator training offers flexibility for busy schedules, allowing participants to balance their learning with work commitments. This approach ensures that operators receive a comprehensive understanding of mini excavator operation, from theory to practice, all within a timeframe that suits their needs. Reach out to our team to learn more about the benefits of our blended mini excavator training and find the option that best fits your schedule and learning style.
