“OETIM was an excellent program and I had a very enjoyable experience! The staff were friendly and helpful through out the whole process. I would recommend OETIM to anyone looking to get into heavy equipment operating.”
Jenna Kent
“I write this as I’m working on the surface of a gold mine. I started on the dozer 5 months ago. This course 100% taught me what I needed to know, and the experience in the equipment was invaluable. You have to earn a seat in the equipment, so be prepared to work your way into it – but it’s worth it. I did it in 3 months. Thanks, OETIM!”
Cameron Owen
“I took the OETIM course last Fall for my Job as a Public Works Foreman to sharpen my Equipment Operating skills and pick up safety aspects I could bring back to my crew. The course exceeded my expectations and the instructors were not only great teachers, but also became friends of mine. The students were also great to be around, and the atmosphere was always pleasant and enjoyable. I took back the skills I learned with me to share and pass along to my crew. I fell in love with operating the grader, so I decided this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my career and took a position with Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure as a grader operator. Thanks Rob, Derek, my classmates, and the OETIM staff for making my 6 weeks memorable.”
Rocky Moreau
“I enjoyed my time at OETIM. The instructors were very informative when it came to operating and maintaining the heavy equipment. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for training.”
Brennan Sanders
“The OETIM HEO training course provided me with the skills and knowledge needed to take my career to the next level! From landscaping to earthmoving, snow removal to civil construction, road construction to mining, my occupation has allowed me to work, travel and live across Canada. Completing the course gave me more experience and confidence in working as a heavy equipment operator. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to seek knowledge, safety, and a beneficial career.”

Edwin Penner-Bear
“My time at OETIM has been incredible, but unfortunately it ended sooner than I'd like, I wish I could have cherished the moments more! Your experience at OETIM will be enhanced by the friendly people and amazing instructors. I never thought I could become a certified heavy machine operator, but I did, and you can as well! Thank you!”
Elizabeth Epp
“I found the HEO course to be extremely informative. The instructors were very helpful, and really knowledgeable about the equipment. OETIM does a great job from beginning to end! Great course!”
Ryan Murdock
“The staff at OETIM is unbelievable and accommodating. The information available and taught to us was so valuable I will never forget it. I've learned more in 6 weeks than I have in the past 40 years.
