HPOTS – HUNTER PLANT OPERATOR TRAINING SCHOOL
Training occurs for a variety of industrial, construction and mining sectors.
Plant Machinery Operations and High Risk programs including Excavator, Dozer, Skid Steer, Forklift, Scaffolding, Rigging, Crane Operations and much more. Our programs are very interactive and allow the student to be actively involved in their learning. We strive for a maximum skills transfer from the training arena to the workplace.
OUR COURSES
Students are encouraged to – learn by doing – and are given extreme amounts of seat time to maximize their performance and ensure their skills grow to a superior level. Under constant supervision we encourage students to show, tell and apply the knowledge learnt in the classroom setting to the simulated work environment we have created for them on our grounds.

Here is what they have to say about HPOTS…
GRAHAM
HPOTS are really professional and friendly. They don’t cut corners or shorten their program delivery and they offer great value for money. The time given to practice my skills gave me more confidence as a dogman. I gained great skills and am glad I chose to train at HPOTS.
I’ll be back soon for Rigging!!
DAVE
The training was really great. A great mix of theory and practical. Great trainers, friendly atmosphere. I’ll be back for more and I’ll be telling my mates.
BRETT
Plant training at HPOTS is GREAT! We spent a lot of time on the machine on their training pad which is huge and this gives you the confidence to operate it safely and correctly. I’ll be back.
TOM
I’m doing a traineeship through HPOTS. I love coming and doing practical training to build on my skills as a Scaffolder. The trainers are great and I’m learning a lot.
MICHELLE
I had a great time training at HPOTS. I’m glad I chose to work in the construction industry and I’m glad my employer sent me to train at HPOTS.
“Women in Mining are great”.
PETER
After doing a course at HPOTS I’ve told my boss that we should send all our staff to be trained here. HPOTS is a great place to learn and we get plenty of time to practice. They really care about everyone and teach the skills well.
