Bobcat Training Resources

Bobcat training courses make it easy to train your operators and service technicians in the proper operation and maintenance of your Bobcat® equipment.

These comprehensive courses cover, step-by-step, the basics of operating Bobcat skid-steer loaders, compact excavators, telescopic tool carriers, utility work machines, loader backhoes and backhoe and planer attachments.

Courses on service safety training for technicians are available for skid steer loaders and compact excavators.

Bobcat also has safety videos for rental operations (skid-steer, allwheel steer and mini track loader, excavator and loader backhoe versions).

Among the topics in the skidsteer loader operator course are how weight distribution affects loader steering and stability, how the hydrostatic transmission works and fundamentals of safe maneuvering, traveling and working with attachments. This course also includes segments on Bobcat all wheel steer loaders and compact track loaders.

The training course for compact excavator operators discusses such areas as house rotation, independent boom swing, track ground pressure and the principles of rated lift capacity when lifting loads.

The educational material has been developed by the experts in Bobcat equipment—the people who design and build them. They offer a consistent way to train new operators and technicians and update experienced ones in working efficiently with these machines. This can help protect your profits by improving both productivity and safety.

These courses are recommended by insurance companies and encouraged by safety organizations.
