South Africa is home to some of the world’s richest gold fields, but getting to them isn’t always easy. Even the country’s largest mining companies often struggle to find skilled truck drivers who can operate what are known as grader machines, which are used to smooth out the roads that lead into the mines.
Deputy director of South Africa’s Department of Mineral Resources, Werner Myburgh, says the country is short about 800 grader operators.

They are extremely powerful machines that can be very dangerous when in the wrong hands.
We offer Grader Operator Training. Our training course is aimed at people who are interested in learning how to operate graders, tippers, dumptrucks and other construction / mining equipment.
The course is done according to SANS (South African National Standard) specifications, which involves checking your knowledge of all the South African Road Traffic Act’s (SARRTA) rules and regulations. After completing the theory test, you will start training on real machines with an instructor.
It is not for everybody! But if you want to enjoy the work environment of construction companies, mining companies and civil engineering projects, then you need to successfully complete this course.
Our fee structure is based on the Department of road Traffic Act (DORA). We charge per day, but it will be calculated per half day. We can do this due to the fact that our equipment does not run 24hrs a day every day of the year.

Our On The Job (OJT) Operator Training is done on a grader skid steer at a client’s site. This type of training ensures that our operators will be able to use the same equipment and methods when they return to their respective construction companies.
