HOW TO APPLY

Applicants must meet basic physical criteria. Our locations do not discriminate based on mental or physical disabilities. We just have to ensure that you are physically and mentally capable of safely operating all equipment to successfully complete the program without endangering yourself or others.

At Heavy Equipment Colleges of America, we encourage students who might have a concern regarding a physical or mental disability to visit the campus in question and allow the staff there to evaluate a reasonable accommodation for your individual circumstance. 

As an additional note about the mental and physical requirements needed to enroll at one of our locations, Heavy Equipment Colleges of America would like to clarify that we do not deny admission to anyone based on race, ethnicity, creed, color, gender, religion or national origin. There are, however, some potential safety risks that could be cause of concern. The following may disqualify an applicant:

• A history of epilepsy seizures
• Medication that might interfere with your ability to safely operate equipment
• Providing an invalid driver’s license
• Felony conviction

The above conditions might prevent a graduate from obtaining employment and therefore might be barriers to admission to our heavy equipment training schools. Admission may still be granted to applicants who do not meet the HEC’s requirements if the applicant can provide substantial evidence that employment opportunities exist regardless of the above admissions requirements. The individual college will make this determination on a case-by-case basis.
