Drill Rig Training in Uganda: Drill Rig Operator Training
Operating a drill rig is a high-demand skill in Uganda’s mining, construction, and water exploration sectors. Drill rig operators are crucial for tapping underground resources and laying the foundation for many large-scale projects.
Our drill rig training program is structured to transform motivated individuals into skilled and certified drill rig operators within just 5 weeks.
However, we usually enroll and register someone who has a permit that is valid for at least three years (strictly for experienced drivers).
If you want to improve your skills, this course provides the ideal balance of theory, safety, and hands-on practical training. You need to have prior experience and a strong work ethic to take on this physically rewarding and well-paying career.
