Designed to increase worksite safety, this program provides simulator training for
heavy equipment used in the construction field. Operators will train on simulators
to develop real-world skills needed to operate heavy equipment safely and efficiently.
Badges may be earned in forklift, excavator, dozer, backhoe, wheel loader, motor grader,
articulated dump truck, concrete pump truck, and mobile crane. Students may earn multiple
badges. While the coursework will be completed online, students need to be available
to train on the simulators on the Ephraim campus. Students will work with the instructor
to schedule simulator time.

Badges can be earned for each simulator individually. In addition, you can also earn
the Earthmoving Equipment Badge by completing the four core classes and one of the
simulators related to earthmoving. The Forklift badge requires both the simulator
and the safety course.
