Demonstration & Learning Centers
The Caterpillar Demonstration & Learning Centers are designed to demonstrate the value of Cat® products and services through the operation and application of our equipment.
Since 1926 Caterpillar® has recognized the value of demonstrating products to its customers. The demonstration centers represent the logical outcome of that decades-long focus: Caterpillar has the most evolved training and demonstration centers available. Comprehensive staff support and customer-focused education ensure that time at our centers is well spent.
To succeed in an intensely competitive world, our customers need the right equipment, the right technology and the right training. The demonstration and learning centers help customers become more competitive. Visitors gain application and product knowledge in high-tech classrooms and in the field, benefiting from instructors with years of training and expertise on the latest Cat equipment.
There are currently three Demonstration & Learning Centers located worldwide. At the core of these centers are our highly skilled demonstrator instructors with a minimum 10 years of equipment operator experience in heavy construction, general construction, quarry/aggregates and/or mining industries. Using their knowledge and/or skill, instructors provide a variety of services through the Demonstration & Learning Centers including:
Demonstration of Product

Product and Application Training
Instructors provide hands-on and classroom training related to machine operation, application, job efficiency, and safety. Training sessions can take place, either at the Training Centers or on the customer's jobsite.
