Construction Craft Laborer
The foundational course for anyone starting a civil career with zero experience: tools, site systems, and how a crew actually runs.
What you will learn
This is where most operators start. You will cover hand and power tool use, material handling, basic rigging and signaling, site layout and traffic control, and how to work safely and usefully alongside equipment before you are the one running it.
The natural first step before an equipment-specific course.
Who it is for
Must be 18 or older. No prior experience required.
What you leave with
Lone Star Civil Construction Craft Laborer Certificate
