    You’ve decided to attend a program that will help you start a new career in construction work or truck driving, but with so many training programs and schools out there, choosing your future direction can be tough.

    All of the program you’re looking into can give you the paper credentials you need to begin your new job, but which one will provide you with the practical skills you really need to successfully kick-start your new career?

    There is indoor classroom work as well, but more than half of your time will be spent in the field with real equipment or trucks. Motivated students will become well-trained by the end of their course and will be prepared to enter into their chosen field.

    Plus, once you successfully complete your training at West Coast Training, you will be ready to pass the necessary certifications such as the NCCCO certification for crane operation or the Class A Commercial Driver’s License. These credentials are nationally recognized allowing you to start your career anywhere in the country.
