On Wednesday, June 5 NBCC will be onsite with a virtual training trailer for students to try out the machinery you would learn in this course.
The Mechanized Forest Equipment Operator program is designed to prepare students for entry level positions as mechanized forest equipment operators. The equipment used in forestry is unique to the industry and expensive. The specialized nature of forestry harvesting and operating the equipment requires skilled operators. The program uses simulators to help students gain the skills they need to become skilled equipment operators. Students will also learn to perform preventative maintenance and basic equipment repairs. Emphasis is placed on safety, environmental sustainability and commercial operations.
