Welcome to Arkansas Heavy Equipment Operator Training Academy (AHEOTA)


Are you ready for an exciting new career as a heavy equipment 操作符?  如果你爱 working outdoors, enjoy being in control of large, powerful machines to carve out roads and construction sites, or if you prefer to work in the forest using the latest high-tech logging equipment to harvest trees, then the Arkansas Heavy Equipment Operator 培训学院是为你准备的.

Our program is administered and provided through bc365游戏-COT-McGehee, but the program is located in 蒙蒂塞洛, Arkansas on the Diesel Training Academy campus. 如果你有 any questions, would like a tour of the school or to learn more about the program, 请bc365游戏.

We are pleased to be able to offer two courses of study -- 建设 and 木材. 下面列出的信息.

AHEOTA is very proud of our construction program, which has been in existence since 2005.  学生 are taught from the latest NCCER textbooks and are required to score 每次考试70%才能及格.  The classroom instruction and field work both stress safety and correct operating procedures, and covers a wide variety of topics, 包括:

  • 推土机
  • 挖掘装载机
  • 液压挖掘机
  • 自行式平地机
  • 越野自卸车操作
  • 成绩
  • 土壤
  • OSHA法规

学生 are also certified in CPR and First Aid, either through the American Red Cross or through the American Heart Association and also receive forklift & OSHA 10小时 认证.

Each semester the students spend approximately 1 ½ months "in the field"; that is, the program leases equipment and students get actual seat time on various machines, 视情况而定.

建设 students successfully completing the program will receive national 认证 through the NCCER (National Center for 建设 教育 and Research).

The program lasts for 2 semesters and 1 summer term, and follows the schedule of the University of Arkansas at 蒙蒂塞洛 (bc365游戏). 建设 students are required to take an additional 3 hours of English and 3 hours of Math to obtain a technical certificate from bc365游戏. 熟练证书 can be earned after 1 semester is successfully completed. Additionally, a student may earn or apply college hours already earned (if they are transferable within the U of A system) totaling 60 hours, which will entitle the student 获得副学士学位.

The program is currently using the hybrid mode of instruction,with students taking classes on Blackboard and NCCER tests on the NCCER website. 在现场作业中, 这些天是星期一到星期五. Financial aid is available for qualified students.

AHEOTA for 木材 Producers is a brand new, first-of-its-kind training facility for 本州的测井设备.  Modeled on the successful construction program already in place, the 木材 Program, as it is referred to on campus, seeks to find and train individuals who wish to enter the exciting, fast-paced world of a logging equipment 操作符. 

If you're thinking about a career in the log woods, then you should seriously consider 报名参加我们的项目.  我们训练学生操作:

  • 胶轮feller-buncher
  • 集材拖拉机
  • Hydraulic log loader with pull-through delimber

We were fortunate to have the John Deere Company and Warrior of Arkansas donate a 供我们使用的模拟器.  This simulator is designed to train 操作符s on the new cut-to-length system offered by John Deere and other manufacturers.  第二学期学生将 receive instruction not only on how to operate the machines, but also on how to change the programming parameters to have the machine cut what is desired, as far as lengths 和直径.

At this point in time, we are not able to lease actual cut-to-length machines for 学生培训,但我们正在努力.  学生们将实地考察几个 jobs to observe different techniques and procedures for producing different products.

Classroom time covers modules on each piece of equipment, along with guest safety 视频、演讲嘉宾和实地考察.  学生 also complete a module on map reading 土地位置.  学生 are also certified in CPR and First Aid and can earn OSHA 10小时认证.

第二学期学生将 spend much time on the John Deere simulator, learning the controls and various functions, and also delving into the settings applications.  Several field trips are to be scheduled as well as guest speakers from different aspects 行业的.

The program meets 2 days per week, usually Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday, from 8:00 to 4:30.  在现场作业中, these days will have to be adjusted.

木材 students have the same admissions requirements as do construction students, 但有一个主要区别.  如果一个木材学生被拒绝了经济资助, the program has some funds available for scholarships for qualified students.  This option is only available for those students wishing to go through the timber 生产者的程序.  Any students classified as on financial denial or on academic 试用期不符合条件.

Although the class is offered through bc365游戏/COT-McGehee, the AHEOTA program is located in Warren on the high school property in the SEACBEC building. 开车请bc365游戏 方向. 

Highly trained instructors and top-of-the line equipment make our program the best 为你. Come visit us and get started on your career today!
