Skid Steer Training

Phase 1 – Theory Training

Trainees are guided through a comprehensive & interactive review of the operators workbook covering:

Phase 2 – Theory Evaluation

Upon theory completion, participants will take part in a knowledge review test consisting of multiple choice, true/false and essay-type questions. These test are graded and returned to the trainees then reviewed to ensure proper retention. A minimum score of 70% is required to pass.

Phase 3 – Practical Training

Trainees are shown the pre-use inspection, machine controls and safe operating procedures then given the opportunity to practice under the helpful eye of the program trainer.

Phase 4 – Practical Evaluation

Trainees are assessed as having reached a minimum level of skill and are then individually evaluated using the equipment in a series of skill reinforcing scenarios. Following the evaluation, trainees are debriefed about their performance then given the opportunity to address any issues they may have. Each trainee’s records will be handed to the employer (or trainee) after completion of the program.
