About lunch

Lunch is served buffet style each class day of the in-person courses. We are not able to accommodate special dietary needs. If you have allergies, restrictions, or anything else you can't eat from a buffet, plan to pack your own lunch — you're welcome to eat it with the class.

No fee · No obligation · We don't sell your information

Heavy Equipment Certification's hands-on week runs Mon–Fri, 8 AM–5 PM at Centro Cristiano de Rogers, 2121 S. 1st St. — once you finish the safety lessons (Lesson 1), the portal shows you the Fall Quarter weeks and you pick the one that fits. Transportation to the training site is provided daily, and the 40 online hours can be done before, after, or during that week. Advanced Manufacturing is online except for one required day there for your forklift driving and evaluation — you pick that date in the portal after Lesson 5.

Still deciding?

Compare the three tracks before you register, or call us at (870) 522-7522 — we'll walk through what each one leads to and what the work actually looks like so you can pick the right one.

Not eligible for the grant?

Apply anyway. Grant funding rules change, we run more than one funding source, and we'd rather look at your situation than have you rule yourself out.

Centers, employers & case managers

Host the program at your site.
