Given the relatively low cost of our programs, lending institutions are not a good fit for both you and Dig This. If you cannot afford the total cost at registration, we can discuss a payment plan. Dig This Academy is actively looking at tuition assistance through State, Federal and Construction Association channels and will assist students in need as these funds become available.
Dig This Academy is building relationships with key employers and could potentially match you for the right job opportunity*.
Dig This Academy is located just south of the Strip, and is close to a wide variety of hotels, offering accommodations with or without kitchenettes. Please note that accommodation costs are not included in the tuition fee, and you will need to arrange your own lodging.
A 40 hour course for single equipment types. This program will recognize a successful completion of hands on tasks and theory as outlined in the NCCER certification courses. These courses will cover these equipment types but not limited to: excavators, backhoes, bulldozers and wheel loaders.
If you have never operated heavy equipment before and are considering a career as a heavy equipment operator, then try our 3-hour orientation program on a backhoe, 6-ton excavator, and skid steer loader. If you like what you experienced and want to move forward with our training program, the cost ($500) will be deducted from the enrollment fees.
