Operating Engineers Training Institute of Manitoba

They dont pick up the phone ever when you call. You can't get government funding unless you are scheduled in a course. You have to pay for the course up front. I don't have 14000 dollars. The province offers sponsorship up to 9000.00 dollars. But they will not talk to you unless you are enrolled in a course. So if you are looking for retaining and want to enroll you better ha e 14k. Very unhelpful and frustrating to deal with

The instructors Rob and Derek were very pessimistic and quickly informed everyone the first day of class AFTER getting their $13250 from everyone not to expect to get hired as a heavy equipment operator from the start after graduating from the program. What was said to me and the entire class was that you would have to work your way up normally through a company for a couple of years and that if at some point someone retired or quit, then you could possibly be given a chance. This program is a complete waste of time and doesn't give you any sort of worthwhile seat time to be able to get your foot in the door and to even be considered with a company because of the brief couple hours on each machine. Don't be taken in as I was and end up donating your money away without any upside.

Very bad costumer service, still waiting for an answer which I'll probably never get...They declined my second time doing the test, because I failed the first one, then they needed proof" that I was studying lol

Great place to get trained on heavy equipment. Great teachers with lots of encouragement. Lots of hands on training which you will enjoy. Would recommend this place to everyone.
