This course is aimed machine operators who are required to work with machine control technology. Delegates will use our Tensar simulator to learn the essential basic information required for switching between different displays, working with layers, taking measurements using the bucket or blade and carrying out fault-finding checks. The training is suitable for trainee or experienced machine operators.
This course is Tier 2 funded by CITB meaning registered businesses get £140 back in short course grant.
The course is aimed at machine operators of all experience levels.
