Ditch Witch introduced four new modules to its certified training program.

The new modules include training for stand-on skid-steers, walk-behind trenchers, ride-on trenchers and the Roto Witch drilling attachment.

“It’s important that everyone has the training for safe and proper equipment operation,” said Brian Grim, Ditch Witch product training and development manager. “No matter your role — machine owner, project engineer, operator or installation crew member — understanding the equipment is very important to maintaining a safe job site.”

Online training modules are available at no cost by visiting Ditch Witch’s website and registering for a free account. In-person training is available at any global Ditch Witch dealer.

The modules vary in length, depending on the type of product being studied, from 30 minutes for smaller units to several hours for more complex subjects like horizontal directional drill operation. There is a test following the lesson.

“Keeping our customers safe and productive is job No. 1 for us at Ditch Witch,” Grim said. “These training modules allow us to provide operator and safety training to our customers anywhere in the world

Ditch Witch said it selected the new training categories based on customer demand.
