Operator training on a skid steer in a yard

Skid Steer Training Classes

Skid steers are highly versatile units that are widely used in construction, mining, oil, and agriculture. Due to their power and wide range of functions, operators must be trained in safe and efficient practices. That’s why Leavitt Machinery offers a skid steer certification course for all levels of operators. This program provides aspiring operators with a solid foundation in safety standards, maintenance procedures, and best operating practices.

Our skid steer training consists of classroom-based learning, operational theory, written testing, and hands-on experience. Content is delivered through multimedia presentations, class discussions, and instructor demonstrations. This content is then reinforced through written testing and practical evaluation.
