The hydraulic excavator is one of the tools increasingly encountered in various sectors and industries, such as forestry, road construction, agriculture and mining. Training of operators is necessary to ensure the desired operating standards, operator safety and maintenance of the machine. This excavator short skills training course has been developed for the benefit of novices and experienced operators who may be expected to operate to legally-required operating standards.

The unit standard forms part of the National Certificate: Construction Plant Operations (SAQA ID 65789). Learners who achieve the course objectives will, upon completion of the course, be able to understand and identify the functions, main components and operating controls of the excavator, carry out daily checks, safety precautions and safe operating procedures according to legislation and company policy, and maintain the necessary documentation required by the employer.
