Come visit us today and see for yourself if our construction program is for you!

Construction

Construction students successfully completing the program will receive national certification through the NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research).

The program lasts for 2 semesters, and follows the schedule of the University of Arkansas at Monticello (UAM).

Construction students may choose to take an additional 3 hours of English and 3 hours of Math to obtain a technical certificate from UAM.

Additionally, a student may earn or apply college hours already earned (if they are transferable within the U of A system) totaling 64 hours, which will entitle the student to an Associate's degree.

Financial aid is available for qualified students.

The program meets 2 days per week, usually Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday, from 8:00 to 4:30. During field operations, these days may have to be adjusted.

Similar programs may cost up to $20,000 at other privately-run institutions

AHEOTA is very proud of our construction program, which has been in existence for approximately 6 years. Students are taught from the latest NCCER textbooks and are required to score 70% on each test in order to pass. The classroom instruction and field work both stress safety and correct operating procedures, and covers a wide variety of topics, including:

Bulldozer
Backhoe loader
Hydraulic excavator
Motor grader
Off-road dump truck operation
Grades
Soils
OSHA regulations

Students are also certified in CPR and First Aid, either through the American Red Cross or through the American Heart Association.

Each semester the students spend approximately one month "in the field"; that is, the program leases equipment and students get actual seat time on various machines, as conditions dictate.
