Whether you just want to see what it's like to drive heavy machinery or are considering getting into the industry, this is the experience for you.
This play day is run by a national registered training organisation and is just like the introduction training that real plant machinery operators undertake when getting their certificate. You will be driving the same machinery and will be trained by the same teachers!
The day starts with a safety training session. After this we will get straight onto the machinery!
Your instructors demonstrate the correct ways to use the equipment, and then it's your turn. You will learn how to move the machines backwards and forwards, rotate them, lift, open and shut buckets, and move dirt around!
You will get to have a go on a wide range of excavators and skid steers that operate in different ways. To top it off, you will be issued with a proper logbook, so if you decide to take your training to the next level you've already started accumulating hours!
A BBQ lunch will be provided on the day.
