John Deere introduces in-person, hands-on earthmoving training
The three-day learning sessions are meant for new operators with less than one year of experience
John Deere product training experts are now helping new operators take their skills to the next level with new in-person training courses. Through the company's three-day training courses, contractors and equipment operators get hands-on operations time and focused training on John Deere earthmoving equipment.
"Our customers face daily challenges of operator shortages and attrition," says Matt Nolte, manager, sales and customer training for John Deere. "When they have an opportunity to train new operators, they're looking for not only high satisfaction from their new operators being trained, but also the right level of training to get them working efficiently, fast."
Equipment training for operators with less than a year of experience
The three-day training courses, which take place in Sacaton, Arizona, will teach operators how to conduct proper and thorough machine walkarounds, perform basic operations, and operate all key equipment features on John Deere machines. In addition, each attendee will spend approximately half a day exploring various machine families, helping to advance knowledge and skills on pertinent jobsite equipment. This compact, hands-on training course is intended for new equipment operators with less than one year of experience.
Plans to roll out more training sessions for all skill levels
Registration for the December 3-5 in-person training session is now open with limited spots available. John Deere plans to roll out additional customer training sessions at various levels of skill at a later time, helping to enhance the performance of operators at all stages of their careers. Contractors looking for customized training can also request tailored solutions to match their needs, with Custom Training Sessions available by inquiry.
