What will I learn?

The Mini Excavator Operator Course gives you practical, step-by-step skills to run a 2–3 ton machine safely and efficiently on tight residential sites. Learn pre-start inspections, controls, and safe entry, then move into trenching, slab prep, spoil management, and edge stability. Master utility locating, 811 procedures, OSHA-focused excavation rules, spotter communication, emergency response, and daily documentation so every dig is controlled, compliant, and productive.
