The Underground Distribution Construction Mechanic Course
by Dirt Dog | Feb 11, 2023
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THIS COURSE?
This course will give you study material on the duties of an Underground Distribution Construction Mechanic to help you pass the multiple choice section of entry level position. It includes study material on concrete work, digging, trenching, shoring, piping, and more. Learn about various tools and equipment while working in a confined area of a trench. I will go over how to install trench shoring, navigate around trench, operate, and set up tools.
Having worked as an Underground Distribution Construction Mechanic for several years, I have collected a lot of study material from various sources. I picked out the best and most useful information and created an easy to read and follow educational course. This course gives you a lot of good study material about UDCM including practice tests, tools (names, functions, images), and videos. I show you how I do shoring, excavate, operate tools, mix concrete, install pole risers, and more.
- Enrollment has closed because the maximum number of allowed students has been reached.
COURSE IS EXPECTED TO START ACCEPTING NEW ENROLLEES March 2024
Why?…… Look, we get it, there is nothing worse than scrolling through a page trying to get the good information from someone who has never even done the actual job. You know when something is true or at least have a hunch. It is painful to try to really believe someone and know if they are really qualified. We created this course for that exact reason, we keep it real 100% of the time, we try to seek people who are really willing to put in the effort to study and learn the material which is why we offer limited number of enrollees in this course. We want to make sure we can address all the questions and give the enrollees the time they deserve. We do this by allowing a maximum number of enrollees at a time. Feel free to reach out if you have questions. Goodluck on your journey.
