Mastering Industrial Power.

The heavy equipment operator is the orchestra conductor of construction sites. They manipulate machines weighing dozens of tons with millimeter precision to shape Morocco's industrial landscape.

Our intensive 6-month program is designed to transform motivated beginners into operational professionals, ready to join the largest employers in the sector.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Do I need experience to enroll?
No, no prior experience is required. Our training is designed for complete beginners. We start from zero and guide you to complete autonomy in the cabin. The only requirement is motivation and meeting admission conditions (age, education level, physical fitness).
How much time will I spend operating equipment?
Each trainee gets a minimum of 200 hours of actual driving time over the 6-month training. Thanks to our ratio of one instructor for maximum 4 trainees, you're not a spectator but an active participant in your learning. This is our major difference from theoretical training programs.
Is the diploma recognized by employers?
Absolutely. Our diploma is recognized by all players in the mining and construction sectors in Morocco, including OCP, Managem, major construction groups (SGTM, TGCC, etc.), and Moroccan Highways. We have partnership agreements with over 15 companies that directly recruit our graduates.
Are there financing options available?
Yes, several options exist. We offer payment plans spread over the training duration. Some of our trainees also benefit from regional scholarships or funding from their future employer as part of pre-employment contracts. Contact our team to discuss your situation.
Where does the training take place?
The training takes place on our Youssoufia campus, in the heart of Morocco's mining basin. We have a 5-hectare training ground equipped with professional equipment. For trainees coming from other cities, we can guide you to accommodation options nearby.
What is the exam pass rate?
Our first-session pass rate is 95%. The remaining 5% receive additional support and generally pass in the retake session. Our hands-on teaching method explains this high rate: when you truly master driving, the exam becomes a formality.
Can I work internationally with this diploma?
Yes, many graduates now work in West Africa (Mauritania, Senegal, Ivory Coast) and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, UAE). Heavy equipment operating skills are universal and international demand is strong. Export salaries can reach 3 to 4 times Moroccan levels.
