» Continuing Education » DMC & Applied Technologies » Heavy Equipment Operator

2025 Fall Semester Course Registration Begins May 12th. Learn more. NEW! An Improved Registration System is Coming June 18th!

Be In Demand!

With the ever-increasing influx of new residents and businesses to Central Texas, there is more consumer pressure on the existing transportation roadways, commercial and residential buildings - creating a huge demand for Heavy Equipment Operators. ACC is filling that demand with our Heavy Equipment Operator Program which will teach you the needed skills to become part of this in- demand industry.

The Heavy Equipment Program is on hold while we transition to our new training location.
Please check this web page for future updates.

About the Program

This program teaches students with a hands-on approach. Students will be taught how to operate Skid Steer, Front Loaders and Backhoes, as well as Machine Safety, Maintenance, and Minor Repairs.

Please contact Monica Moore at (512) 223-7658 or monica.moore@austincc.edu for current class offerings.
