Learning to Operate an Excavator

There are some pieces of heavy equipment that require weeks instead of years of training. One of these equipment is the excavator. I found out that I only need to have six weeks of full-time training in order to become an excavator operator. During this training I will learn about all aspects of operating the excavator from controls, grading and soil types to safety and maintenance. This also includes certification and personal protective gears. I need not worry about the training cost since most schools provide information on how a student can secure funding to pay for the cost of the course.
