Operator training for earthmoving and telescopic handlers
This page lists the most common external and heavy transport equipment in which we provide 1-day operator training at our locations in Eindhoven and Waalwijk or at your location as an in-company training. Is the means of transport for which you wish to obtain a certificate not listed? Like a truck-mounted crane, bobcat, electric tractor, ladder lift or terminal tractor? Please contact us and we will look at the possibilities with you.
These courses are organised on request. (The mini digger course can be done daily at our location in Waalwijk) All courses are possible as InCompany, 1 on 1 or through open registration on one of the monthly course days. Standard in English and Polish. Dutch is also possible on request. Interested? Call us or register using the form at the bottom of the page and we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss the possibilities for the desired operator training.
Certificate for earthmoving and telescopic handler operator
After correctly following and completing these 1-day courses, you will receive a Hollcert certificate with a validity of 5 years. Note. For lifting operations with an operating load moment of 10 Tm or more used on the building site/construction site. And for foundation machines (pile-driving machines) that are set up/designated to install, drive or remove piles or other long objects into the ground. There is an obligation in the Netherlands to obtain a TCVT certificate. Hollcert does not issue these certificates itself. It is possible to take such an exam on request.
Excavator operator training (hydraulic excavator)
A hydraulic excavator is equipped with a hydraulically operated arm and bucket. Working in an intermittent cycle, i.e. between successive stages of the cutting vessel’s operation, there are auxiliary stages, such as moving the vessel with the excavated material, emptying it and returning to the working position.
During this operator training, safe and responsible working with the hydraulic excavator is central. Experienced candidates can follow the 1-day course and receive a Hollcert certificate and safety pass upon positive completion of the theory and practice assessment. For operators carrying out work with a hydraulic excavator, it is compulsory to have a certificate and safety pass.
Mini excavator / trench digger
Hollcert has a mini excavator at its disposal at the Waalwijk location. So you can get your certificate on short term and in one day. Within the framework of the Working Conditions Act, a company is also obliged to instruct its employees thoroughly on how to drive a mini excavator. If you wish to obtain your excavator certificate on another excavator, please let us know in advance.
Shovel operator training (Wheel Loader)
A shovel is a machine that is generally used to move earth or sand. This can be done with the shovel or by pushing the sand. Other names for this machine are wheel loader, single loader, loading shovel or earth moving machine.
Safe and responsible shovel operation is the focus of this operator training. Experienced candidates can follow the 1-day course and receive a Hollcert certificate and safety pass upon positive completion of the theory and practice assessment. For drivers of shovels, a certificate and safety pass are mandatory. From 1 July 2015, it is compulsory to have a T driving licence when driving a shovel on public roads. Those who had a Dutch B driving licence on 1 July 2015 and renew it before 1 July 2025 will have the category T automatically added to their licence.
Telehandler operator training
A telescopic handler is often referred to in the construction industry as a mobile tool carrier or manitou and is mainly used for moving extremely heavy loads. The main difference with the classic loader is the variable length of the boom, usually up to approx. 12-15 m, which makes it an indispensable machine in construction. In combination with the often uneven ground on which telescopic handlers are used, proper training is a must before starting to work safely. For operators carrying out work with a telescopic handler, it is compulsory to have a certificate and a safety pass.
During this operator training, safe and responsible working with the telescopic handler is the focus. Experienced candidates can follow the 1-day course and receive a Hollcert certificate and safety pass upon positive completion of the theory and practice assessment. Please note! When you need a certification with lifting function (TCVT W4-07) you have to pass an external TCVT exam.
Rotating telescopic handler operator training
The telescopic arm of the rotary telescopic handler can rotate 360 degrees. Useful when work has to be done in limited space. For operators carrying out work with a rotary telescopic handler, it is compulsory to have a certificate and a safety pass.
During this operator training, safe and responsible working with the telescopic handler is the focus. Experienced candidates can follow the 1-day course and receive a Hollcert certificate and safety pass upon positive completion of the theory and practice assessment. Please note! When you need a certification with lifting function (TCVT W4-07) you have to pass an external TCVT exam.
