Heavy Equipment Training for Students

Your IHE Experience is your first step into an exciting new career!

Spend some time reading this section to better understand what a decision to train at IHE really means – what we deliver, and how we meet our customer student expectations including what our HEO Trainer minimum qualifications are to teach at IHE.
IHE Heavy Equipment College is respected and recognized as Canada’s premier professional trainer of Heavy Equipment Operators since 2005. We use real machines, NO Simulators. Our courses are a blend of hands-on machine operation shifts as well as online instructional theory training.

PLUS, all courses at IHE include four standard safety tickets: First Aid, Ground Disturbance 2, WHMIS, Construction Safety Training Systems (CSTS).

New in 2021!

IHE is providing all HEO students with $400 in-store credit to purchase CSA-approved Dakota steel-toed boots, and other safety PPE gear required.

IHE provides a $400 in-store credit to be used at Mark’s Work Wearhouse for new registered students in 2021!

There are two vouchers – a $250 one for purchase of CSA approved, Dakota Steel Toes boots and a second voucher for $150 towards other safety gear, personal protection equipment [ppe] desired, etc.

Enrolled students receive these vouchers on Day One of their training program upon contract signing in-person.

This is our gift back to our students for choosing to train with us at IHE. We also want to ensure that all our students can learn and be safe and comfortable daily on site.

“I didn’t want to do oil anymore so I thought I would get into heavy machinery operation,” said Banning. “I looked into training in Ottawa but the school there was not as organized as IHE, and I used to live in the Okanagan so I could stay with friends, so I drove 4,000 kilometres to be here because I could start right away and thought they were the best school with the best options.”

Matthew fell in love with the Okanagan Valley during his training program at our Winfield site. Upon graduation he looked for work in Kelowna and got hired on by Hall Constructors who has expanded their operations into the Valley. Matt is starting as a junior operator and will fill in occasionally as a labourer. He will have the opportunity to operate all six pieces of equipment as well as work in the Lower Mainland.

“I really enjoyed my time at IHE. The instructors were knowledgeable. I learned a great deal in the classroom theory. In fact, outside of training, I would find myself sharing what I had learned, teaching my kids about things like soil erosion when we would pass road construction while driving.”
