I did the course with Joe. He was very informative and explained everything very clear. Highly recommend. L C2025-03-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience, with two hours of real, hands on practice with the excavator. Joe at VPT was great all throughout and gave me all the advise I needed while letting me practice freely with the excavator. I was able to excavate a trench, fill it back in, change buckets, manouver the plant and learn how to go up and down a hill as well. The experience was all that I was hoping for and gave me also a good idea of what it means to operate an excavator for an extended period of time. I would highly recommend to anyone who is just curious, or anyone who is wondering how it would be to take up this as a line of work. Either way, it was great fun!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
