The Beep Heavy Equipment Mechanic Skills certification checks whether you can service excavators, loaders and dozers safely. It starts with making the machine safe before work: bucket down, engine off and key out, danger tags, the articulation lock and three points of contact.
It also covers hydraulics, from capping open lines and releasing stored pressure to finding pinhole leaks with cardboard and checking a whining pump, plus undercarriage work such as track sag and adjusters, greasing pins and bushings, daily walk-arounds, oil sample analysis and supporting a raised boom properly.
The assessment takes about 7 minutes, is auto-scored, and produces a certificate with a unique verifiable ID you can share with a contractor or fleet supervisor. Beep is backed by Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups and AWS, with over 100,000 people certified across 300+ fields.

Heavy Equipment Mechanic Skills certification FAQs
Is this an operator's licence or a national qualification?
No. This is Beep's own knowledge assessment of maintenance and inspection, issued and assessed by Beep only. It is not an operator's licence or permit, it does not mean you may operate heavy equipment, and it has no affiliation with any government agency, training authority or machine brand.
Does it cover driving or operating the machines?
No. It covers servicing and inspecting machines safely: lockout, hydraulics, tracks, greasing and inspections. Operating heavy equipment needs its own training and permits.
How is this different from the Diesel Truck Mechanic certification on Beep?
The Diesel Truck Mechanic certification covers trucks: diesel fuel systems, air brakes and exhaust treatment. This one covers excavators, loaders and dozers, with their hydraulics, undercarriage and site safety.
