Ditch Witch is expanding its certified training program courses beyond horizontal directional drilling.
The company recently introduced a certified vacuum excavation training program to help both novice and experienced operators maintain performance and safety when using vacuum excavators on today’s diverse job sites.
“We recognize that vacuum excavation is being adopted to conquer a wide range of jobs and we want to ensure operators are prepared,” says Greg Wolfe, Ditch Witch director of training. “With our new vacuum excavation training courses, operators will receive an advanced education to safely and effectively use the machines for new and traditional applications. We’re excited for what’s next in preparing our crews for today’s diverse job sites, and the new training program is a great complement to our existing offering of HDD courses.”
As vacuum excavation technology continues to evolve, the training program is designed to educate both novice and expert operators on new machine functionality and applications. Each course provides detailed information on a subject related to vacuum excavation, including machine operation best practices, safety procedures, tooling selection and advanced equipment controls.
Participants can complete the entire program online anytime, anywhere from a computer or smart device. After all courses are fully completed, participants can print an official Ditch Witch Certified Training certificate of completion.
In addition to the online courses, crews have the option to work with their local Ditch Witch dealer to participate in an instructor-led classroom course, dealer-site training on the equipment, or training on the actual job site.
