The Architects of Mechanical Power.

In a world where every minute of equipment downtime costs thousands of dirhams, the heavy equipment mechanics technician has become an indispensable professional. You will be the one who ensures machine availability on the Kingdom's largest construction sites: phosphate mines, infrastructure projects, and large-scale agricultural operations.

At IMTA Youssoufia, we train technicians capable of working with precision on sophisticated equipment: high-pressure hydraulic systems, onboard electronics, and latest-generation diesel engines. Our training is recognized by the largest dealerships - Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, Hitachi - and major mining operators in the country.

The sector is hiring massively: With the development of major infrastructure projects (highways, ports, mines), Morocco needs more than 2,000 heavy equipment mechanics technicians per year. Companies struggle to find qualified profiles, which guarantees rapid placement and attractive salaries upon graduation.

They Chose IMTA.

Discover the journeys of our graduates now working at top companies.

After my training at IMTA, I was hired directly by Tractafric at Caterpillar. Today, I am responsible for maintaining a fleet of 40 machines at a mining site. The practical training I received gave me a head start in the field.

Youssef Mansouri

Maintenance Team Leader - OCP Khouribga

What impressed me at IMTA was the quality of the instructors - all former field professionals. The advanced hydraulics courses allowed me to solve breakdowns that my more experienced colleagues couldn't diagnose. My career took off in just a few months.

Ahmed Belkadi

Diagnostics Technician - SMT Komatsu

I was earning 4,000 DH as a worker before my training. Two years later, I'm at 9,000 DH with bonuses, at one of the largest construction groups in Morocco. Investing in this training was the best decision of my professional life.
