The Dozer Site-Ready Training course is designed to give delegates real-world operating experience on a live construction site. This non-accredited course is ideal for operators who have completed formal training but need more time in the seat to build confidence, refine technique, and prepare for the demands of real on-site work.

Training is delivered entirely on active projects using real machines, under the guidance of experienced instructors who understand industry expectations. There are no simulations — this is practical, hands-on development that builds the capability employers look for.

Whether you're newly certified, returning to the industry, or just need a skills boost — this course bridges the gap between ticketed and truly site-ready.
