Bulldozer, Grader Course FAQs

How practical is the training compared to the theory?

The majority of the course is hands-on practical training. You’ll learn by operating the machinery under supervision, supported by theory lessons that cover legislation, safety standards, and site procedures.

How is operating a Bulldozer different from a Grader?

A Dozer is primarily used for bulk earthmoving, pushing, and stockpiling, while a Grader is designed for precision surface finishing, levelling, and creating road bases. The course you choose depends on the type of work you plan to do.

Can I train in both Bulldozer and Grader machines at the same time?

No. Since Dozer and Grader training sessions run simultaneously, you’ll need to complete one ticket first and return later to complete the other. Many students do both over time to expand their career opportunities.

Do I need a driver’s licence to enrol in the Dozer/Grader course?

No. A standard car driver’s licence is not required, but you must be at least 16 years old, have valid photo ID, and meet the literacy and numeracy requirements of the course.
