Advanced Grade Class Description

ADVANCED GRADE

With support from both Topcon (Positioning Solutions Co.) and Trimble (FABCO Equipment Inc.), we offer one week training classes specific to each individual product. The class will focus on working with G.P.S. base stations, rovers and operating G.P.S equipped machines. You will be taught how to set up a base station and calibrate a site. Using the rover you will learn practical layout techniques of job sites and how to gather information to calculate job site quantities. Working with G.P.S. equipped machines you will learn how to operate these machines using indication only and fully automatic modes. You will be using these modes to rough and fine grade projects modeled on our training site.

You must have extensive plan reading skills, average operating skills and some computer skill to fully enjoy this class.
