CACES Training
To obtain a driving license from your employer, the latter must ensure your physical fitness at the workstation (medical check-up), your understanding of the rules (delivery of the rules of procedure + safety training on a drilling site) and finally your skills to drive the machine (our training CACES 2 R372m “drill”)
These formations are adapted to the drilling sites. A theoretical course will structure the basic knowledge of driving and compliance with safety rules. The practical part will make it possible to implement them.
The CACES courses can have several durations: the initial training of 4 days, reserved for the persons having never handled drills, improvement of 3 days for the drillers having never passed their CACES and finally recycling of 2 days for the trainees owning a CACES 2 of 10 years and over.
Finally, the CACES training courses can have several options depending on your machine fleet: driver-driven, driver-driven, radio controlled …
On your marks, ready, drill!
Would you like to obtain a certificate that allows you to operate a drill rig on all construction sites? Then enrol in the CACES® R482 Category B2 training.
The New CACES® R482 Category B2 for Drill Rigs
Since 1 January 2020, a specific CACES® certification for drillers and drilling machine operators has been in place. The CACES® R482 Category B2 is dedicated to drill rigs and sequentially moving drilling or sampling machines.
Did you obtain a CACES® certificate before 2020? Here are your options:
-
If you hold a valid CACES® R372m Category 2 obtained on a drill rig, it remains valid for operating drilling equipment.
-
If your CACES® was obtained on an excavator, it can no longer be used to operate a drill rig. In this case, you must obtain the new CACES® R482 Category B2. We recommend enrolling in the CACES® R482 Cat. B2 Drill Rig – Advanced Training.
-
If you obtained a CACES® R482 in another category within the last 12 months, you are not required to retake the theoretical test. Please note: the price remains unchanged.
How the CACES® R482 Category B2 Certification Works
During the 3 days of initial CACES® R482 Category B2 training, you will practise operating the machine and learn the required theoretical knowledge. The CACES® test then takes place over one full day.
Because safety is a priority and drilling is highly specialised, all our CACES® instructors are drilling experts.
Please note: this CACES drill rig beginner training enables you to operate the machine safely. However, if you wish to become a driller or learn drilling techniques, we also recommend completing the “Learn to Drill” training pathway.
If you fail only one part of the test (theoretical or practical), the successfully completed part remains valid for 12 months. You may retake only the missing part to obtain your CACES® certification.
In 2024, this training achieved a 100% success rate. Register now!

Since January 1st, 2020, a specific CACES® certification for drillers and sondage operators has been introduced. The CACES® R482 Category B2 is dedicated to drill rigs and sequentially moving drilling machines.
Have you obtained a CACES® certification before 2020? Several situations may apply:
-
If you hold a CACES® R372m Category 2 that is still valid and was obtained on a drill rig, it remains valid for operating drilling equipment.
-
If your CACES® exam was taken on an excavator, it can no longer be used to operate a drill rig. In this case, you can register for this training.
-
If you obtained a CACES® certification in another category less than 12 months ago, there is no requirement to retake the theoretical test. Please note: the price remains unchanged.
-
If you have never obtained a CACES®, please enroll in the CACES® R482 Category B2 Initial training to obtain your first CACES drill rig certification.
-
If you fail only one part of the exam (theoretical or practical), the successfully completed part remains valid for 12 months. You may retake the missing part only and obtain the CACES B2 certification with Drill-i.
