At Bourne Training Services, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive training solutions for the construction industry, specifically focusing on telehandlers, wheeled and tracked 360 excavators, and dumpers. With our expertise and industry knowledge, we offer a range of specialized training programs designed to equip individuals with the skills and competencies necessary to operate these heavy machinery safely and efficiently.

Our telehandler training courses are tailored to meet the diverse needs of construction professionals who operate telescopic handlers. Whether you are a novice or experienced operator, our training program covers fundamental aspects such as equipment familiarization, safe operating procedures, load management, and site-specific considerations. We emphasize best practices and regulations to ensure that operators can perform their tasks with utmost confidence and precision.

For individuals working with wheeled and tracked 360 excavators, our training courses provide comprehensive instruction on the operation, maintenance, and safety protocols associated with these versatile machines. Participants will learn essential skills including machine controls, excavation techniques, trenching, and material handling. Our trainers focus on practical scenarios and real-life simulations to enhance operators' situational awareness and decision-making abilities in various construction environments.

Furthermore, our dumper training courses cater to those operating dump trucks and other site dumpers. Our training covers essential topics such as pre-use inspections, loading and unloading procedures, safe transportation practices, and understanding weight limitations. By emphasizing safety measures, load stability, and efficient maneuvering, we ensure that operators can carry out their duties with maximum productivity and minimize the risk of accidents or equipment damage.
