Front End Loader Training
Course Overview
The RIIMPO304E – Conduct Wheel Loader Operations course provides nationally accredited training for participants looking to develop the practical skills required to safely operate a wheel loader, commonly known as a Front End Loader.
Front End Loaders play an important role across both the mining and civil construction industries. These versatile machines are commonly used to load trucks, transport material around worksites, collect material from different surfaces and create and manage stockpiles.
My Solution Training provides a practical, hands-on approach with one student, one machine and one trainer. This gives participants dedicated operating time and the opportunity to develop their skills and confidence under the guidance of an experienced trainer with recent industry experience.
The course is suitable for both experienced and inexperienced machinery operators. Front End Loader Training can also provide a valuable progression pathway for operators looking to eventually develop their skills on other machinery, including excavators.
