Heavy Equipment Rural Operator (HERO) Training

Invest in your workforce and build your organization’s capacity for heavy equipment operations.

Through the Centre for Northern Innovation in Mining (CNIM), Yukon University’s Continuing Studies division offers contract training that combines theory, simulation and practical, in-cab experience. Participants develop the foundational skills and confidence needed to operate heavy equipment safely and productively in a controlled learning environment.

Using curriculum developed by YukonU and NORCAT, training can include simulation on rock trucks, loaders, dozers, excavators and graders. Employers are responsible for providing the equipment required for in-cab training.

Training can be tailored to your organization’s needs. Pricing varies depending on the equipment and training required—contact us to learn more.
