ATLAS Copco is launching a global training program for drill rig operators called the Master Drilling.
It is an intensive training program, consisting of three levels – bronze, silver and gold – with built-in qualifications enabling trainees to advance to higher levels.
Atlas Copco claims the Master Driller program has been designed for operators within the underground construction and mining sector where productivity, safety and cost are strongly in focus.
The training will be run by Atlas Copco instructors.
The developer of the program, Patrik Rylander says different levels of the program will expose the trainee to different drilling skills.
“The programme combines theory, hands-on simulated training and training in real working conditions in the best way,” he says.
“This combination will help our operators to improve their skills and which can result in increased productivity in a safe way.”
