IHE sets students up for success. We know the industry and what is required to walk on to a job site. Therefore, we include the four basic safety tickets that employers want in all our courses.
The Level II course is a 6.5 hour program that is designed for any party that is supervising a ground disturbance, independently performing a ground disturbance, or issuing and receiving ground disturbance permits.
The program ensures that Level II personnel are familiar with, and fully understand, all the regulations and variances involved when a ground disturbance takes place.
Level II is the standardized program recognized by industry regulators. Certification is valid for 3 years. This course is assessed to the ABCGA 201 Ground Disturbance Standards
Did you know that professional development is also an important part of being an HEO?
Skilled, experienced heavy equipment operators often need certification for specific jobs. We not only offer certification but also an entire series of professional development courses, GPS training as well as driver training through our business partners.
If you already have machine operating experience, but require a certificate proving so, our certification program is for you.
Challenge/Competency/HEO Certifications are available for: Excavator, Loader, Articulated Rock Truck, Dozer, Rubber Tire Backhoe and Grader.
Get trained on the latest Topcon 3D Machine Control Systems and immediately put your knowledge to the test in a machine at our site.
Class 1 and 3 licenses are required for specific job duties on a work site that utilizes heavy equipment. We facilitate acquisition of these licenses through third party partners so our students can acquire the requisite licenses for the jobs they go to.
