The New Entrant Course for 360 Excavator is a comprehensive three-day program designed to provide individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to safely operate a 360 excavator in a construction environment.

Day One of the course focuses on new entrants, with an induction session that covers the course objectives and expectations. It also includes registration and initial induction activities, ensuring that participants are well-prepared for the training ahead.

On Day Two, participants delve into the core content of the course. They receive detailed instruction in various areas, including an induction to

- The Machine Operators Manual

- Performing machine maintenance checks

- Operating the machine

- Being aware of machine safety protocols

- Preparing the machine for movement

- Traveling with the machine

The practical test is time-limited, requiring candidates to complete all tasks within a specified maximum time.
