Heavy Equipment Certification

How can you be sure your workers have the skills and training they need when jobsite safety and productivity are at stake?

Heavy Equipment Certification is the answer.

The Heavy Equipment Certification testing and outcome-based assessment program was created to provide a third-party reliable measurement of the essential skills workers must have to demonstrate proficiency and capability in heavy equipment operations.

Adaptable Equipment Proficiency Test (ADEPT)

The ADEPT program utilizes an outcome-based assessment approach. This provides an objective evaluation that meets industry and regulatory standards and accurately measures knowledge and abilities, including:

Basic operations, safety and maintenance
Site layout, soils and practical math
Blueprint reading and general construction knowledge
Staging and set-up
Proper execution and accuracy in maintaining lines and depth

The Approach

We are happy to offer a variety of benefits, including:

Portable Testing and Evaluation: We’ll come to your site.
Customized Certification: Designed to meet your specific and unique needs and requirements

Certification Benefits

There are a wide variety of benefits associated with certification. Some of these include:

Reduced on-site accidents and workers comp claims
Verified knowledge and skills of entry-level operators
Enhanced job performance and capacity
Decreased risk and lower insurance premiums
On-time and on-schedule completion of projects
Accurately assessed levels of operators based on knowledge and skill

Our strategy has been further developed by staff as part of the training curriculum in our locations across the United States, as well as through extensive analysis of actual jobsite experiences in the mining, construction, utility, and equipment manufacturing industries. Exam content and evaluation criteria have also been shaped by the direct assessment of reality-based best practices involving input from training directors, instructors, managers, supervisors, equipment operators and manufacturers.
