Course Outline: Our workplace integrated backhoe operator training program has been designed for those who are required to be trained to safely undertake work activities that involve the operation of a backhoe. This program uses a mix of training theory and practical backhoe operation.
This course will provide you with a backhoe operator certificate that meets and exceeds WorkSafeBC standards.
Students will spend the morning in the classroom learning background information, legislation, basic principals of safe operation, load handling, and miscellaneous systems and issues. The afternoon is spent gaining hands on training and being assessed on their competency.
For employers, this course will provide valuable documentation regarding the employees competency to safely operate a backhoe. Every course culminates in a practical skills evaluation where students are assessed for their ability to safely and competently operate the backhoe, as well as, their ability to thoroughly complete a pre-use inspection.
This course is ideally suited for students/employees who have some previous experience operating a backhoe. Attempting the course with no previous experience may result in additional training being required before competency can be demonstrated and certification received.
