Dump Truck Training Benoni
TETA-Accredited ADT & 777 Operator Certificates at Our Germiston Campus

United Training Centre trains Benoni job-seekers for their TETA-accredited Dump Truck Operator certificate at our Germiston campus — a short drive from anywhere in Benoni. We offer two separate courses: Articulated Dump Truck (ADT) training for R5,000, and 777 Rigid Dump Truck training for R6,500, both 1 week, both aligned to SAQA Unit Standard 101712 (Operate a Dump Truck, NQF Level 2).

Benoni’s heavy engineering firms — including Anicic Heavy Engineering and the wider Apex Industrial fabrication cluster — along with ongoing road-infrastructure and facility-expansion projects across the town, generate demand for both machine types.

No overnight travel required — Benoni is a short drive from our Germiston campus. Free accommodation is available if you’d prefer to stay on-site for the week instead. Call us on +27 81 795 8133 to enrol.

ADT vs 777 Rigid Dump Truck — Which Course and Price Applies to You?

🚛 ARTICULATED DUMP TRUCK (ADT) — R5,000

  • Frame: Hinged (articulated) joint between cab and body
  • Best suited to: Rough terrain, wet ground, construction and quarry sites
  • Manoeuvrability: High — articulation allows tight turns off-road
  • Common Benoni use: Civil and facility-expansion earthworks around Apex Industrial
  • 🚛 777 RIGID DUMP TRUCK — R6,500

  • Frame: Fixed rigid chassis
  • Best suited to: Large-scale, high-volume haulage on stable, hard haul roads
  • Manoeuvrability: Lower — wide turning circle, but far higher load capacity
  • Common Benoni use: Larger heavy engineering and industrial haulage contracts
  • WHICH COURSE DO YOU NEED?

    Check which machine your employer or target job actually runs before enrolling — the two courses are priced separately because they’re different machines with different curricula. If you’re not sure, call us on +27 81 795 8133 and we’ll help you confirm.

    As Benoni’s manufacturing base continues to grow, facility expansion projects generate demand for certified ADT and rigid dump truck operators for bulk earthworks and material movement.

  • What Benoni Students Say About Dump Truck Training at United Training Centre

    "I worked ground crew for a civil contractor doing earthworks near Apex Industrial in Benoni, and when a bigger contract came in, the site manager said he needed a certified ADT operator. I checked which machine the contract used before enrolling, did the ADT course at Germiston, and commuted daily since it's so close. I was back on-site the following week running the ADT."
