Student Testimonial January – February, 2024 Heavy Equipment Class By M Beck:

I recently had the privilege of attending the Heavy Equipment Operator training at Carolina Construction School, and I must say, it was an absolutely phenomenal experience. From start to finish, the program exceeded my expectations in every way possible. First and foremost, the hands-on training provided at Carolina Construction School is unparalleled. I was amazed by the amount of actual seat time we got on a variety of heavy equipment including dozers, excavators, motor graders, front loaders, compactors, and skid steers. This was not just simulated or virtual practice – we were out in the field, getting real-world experience that is invaluable for anyone aspiring to become a proficient operator. What truly sets this training apart is the emphasis on practical application. It’s one thing to learn how to operate the controls of these machines, but at Carolina Construction School, we were taught how to use them in real-world scenarios. From creating building pads with precision to grading slopes to prevent soil erosion, digging trenches for pipe laying, excavating house footers, and loading dump trucks, every aspect of the training was geared towards preparing us for the demands of the job site. Moreover, the curriculum covers essential topics such as soil compaction, erosion control, construction math, reading construction drawings, and understanding grade stakes. This comprehensive approach ensures that graduates are not only proficient operators but also have a solid understanding of the fundamental principles that govern construction projects. One of the highlights of the program was our instructor, Dustin. His expertise and passion for the industry were evident from day one. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, but he also had a knack for effectively communicating complex concepts and techniques. His guidance and mentorship were invaluable throughout the training, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from someone with such a wealth of experience. Whether you’re a complete novice or have some prior experience in the field, I cannot recommend Carolina Construction School’s Heavy Equipment Operator training highly enough. The skills and knowledge you’ll gain are not only relevant but also incredibly valuable in today’s construction industry. If you’re serious about pursuing a career as a heavy equipment operator, look no further – Carolina Construction School is the place to be.

Student Testimonial June – August, 2023 Heavy Equipment Class by R Wood:

My experience at Carolina Construction School was awesome. Dustin, the instructor, was
a super down to earth, whole hearted guy. He’d do absolutely anything for anyone, one of the
best guys I’ve ever gotten to meet. Not only was Dustin a great guy, but the whole Lineberger
team was great as well. They are a tight knitted group of people and treated everyone like family.
From the mechanics to the office group, everyone was super friendly and easy to work with. I
would highly recommend Carolina Construction School to anyone who is looking to further their
construction career and have a great time.

Student Testimonial April – June, 2024 Heavy Equipment Class by Eric Baumgartner:

You will not find a better construction school than Carolina Construction School. This school went far beyond my expectations. The technical knowledge you get, the hands-on training on most forms of heavy equipment, and the real-life situations are more valuable than words can even explain.
The School Administrator is an amazing and incredible person. He goes above and beyond to help you in any way that you may need. He does everything he can to make it possible for you to be able to attend the school.
Then there’s the instructor. What can I not say about this man, he is super knowledgeable, kind, understanding, very patient, able to explain things in “layman’s terms” and has one of the greatest traits an instructor can have; to not think they know everything and realizes that he too can still learn something new every day.Dustin will work with you, show you, lead and teach you in a way that it is almost impossible to not gain the knowledge and experience required to pass all tests.
Overall, you will be hard pressed to find a better group of people than the people at Carolina Construction School. They are some of the finest people you will ever come across. It was a pure pleasure to go to their school.
