@metlmulisha $12500 it cost me..save your money and get into a company laboring or being a truck driver.its been 6 years since i went there and i worked my way up the hard way...they laughed at my when i told them i went to a heavy equipment school.but the hard work payed off because i do great now,but id be better with that 12500 they got from me!

I WENT TO ATS 6 YEARS AGO AND PLEASE LISTEN TO ME DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.the best way to get into this field is to just start out as a laborer and work your way up.trust me there is a very small chance you will be hired to be a operator because 9 weeks is nothing as far as seat time goes. there job placement is just a list of a bunch of company in each state,not much of a help.i stayed in contact with my 20 classmates and i think maybe 5 of us stuck to it and actually got jobs.save your 12,500!!

I have to say that its a false statment to say that when a student graduates there will not be a job that they couldnt do. 2 weeks isnt going to be enough time to put someone in the seat of the equipment or a few machines and be able to hold a job. At best they could spend couple weeks in a loader. but loader opearators are a dime a dozen.

@FrenchyDuckbill still sucks theres work but not like it use to be not a lot of dirt work mostley highway work, so since theres not a lot of dirt work means the big eqipment is siting at the yards lucky my companie got a good work load all 300 + peices of eqipment are out there working. but it is geting better out there more people are starting to put jobs out for bid also depends on where u live u will get laid of in the winter here in pa we will be geting laid off around chrismass time

It really sucks so bad that ATS only caters to the needs of U.S residents and citizens , i called ATS hoping to get access to this school cuz my home country doesn't have any such facilities . i'm from the caribbean and i wish to become a heavy equipment operator and don't mind traveling to the u.s to get proper training , can someone out there please give sum advice ? All these schools that i've checked out only seem to cater only for u.s citizens , just sucks!!

Ive been doing heavy equipment for awhile good luck getting a job anywhere after just taking a heavy equipment operator course. You need at least 3-5 years experience getting a job anywhere.
