Machine operator training

Machine Operator Training is the perfect course to increase knowledge of the Volvo machine, learn safe operating techniques, and discover how to use the machine to minimize wear and tear. The result is a more effective operation with reduced costs and more uptime.

What you get

Safer operation

Training enables operators to continually refine their skills and operating practices, helping to lower the risk of incidents or accident.

Reduced wear, reduced costs

Training can help prevent unnecessary strain being put on the machine, minimizing wear and tear – hence reducing costs.

Higher productivity

With a good understanding of the many intelligent features and functions of their Volvo machines, operators can use the machine to its full potential.

More uptime

Correct machine use keeps your machines in good condition and reduces the risk of unplanned downtime, while increasing machine lifetime and residual value.

Increased operator satisfaction

Training is proven to increase job satisfaction, resulting in happier and more productive operators. A commitment to employee development also helps attract talented operators.

How it works

Designed around the requirements of your operators and your business, Machine Operator Training is delivered through a combination of theory and practice.

…to practice

Following time in the classroom, participants get out in the field to apply what they have learnt. Firstly completing a machine walkaround and familiarization, before getting behind the controls to work through an extensive list of machine functions and tasks. Our expert trainer monitors performance throughout the practical tasks, providing feedback and suggested improvements in real-time. This practical session can be completed with ready-to-use exercises, or during the operator’s daily work, coached by the instructor.

Smart training tools

To support the training program, as well as sustain the results achieved, your Volvo dealer can offer a range of smart solutions.
