Feedback H. Binder

Röhrnbach

"I have many years of professional experience. Nonetheless, the examination for certified excavator/loader operator was challenging. I gained a lot of knowledge that will help me on-site, especially when it comes to safety. All in all, the participants were extremely satisfied and would recommend the training to everyone."

Feedback A. Wolf

"A construction equipment operator’s extensive responsibilities and obligations were not so clear to me beforehand. Despite my many years of professional experience, I still learnt a great deal. This will benefit me a lot on the job."
