The Crane School provides initial training programs designed to prepare candidates to be a safe, conscientious and smooth mobile crane operator. We have two initial program durations; a 3 week program and a 5 week program.
These programs provide the complete package to become a competent and certified crane operator, from pre-use inspection, crane set-up, driving the crane, lifting loads, up-ending loads, tandem lifting and practicing the various obstacles similar to the practical exams. There is a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on instruction in a professional setting. Both programs are scheduled from Monday to Friday on consecutive weeks and the hours each day are from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
During the 3 week program you will take the following written and practical exams for NCCCO certification: The 3-week program is specifically for telescopic boom cranes with a fixed operating cab/station and telescopic boom cranes with a swing cab. The 5-week program includes the 3-week program plus two additional weeks to include lattice boom cranes.
Telescopic Boom Fixed Cab Cranes (TSS) are a type of crane that feature a boom that can extend and retract, allowing for increased reach and versatility.
Telescopic Boom Swing Cab Cranes, also known as TLL cranes, are a type of mobile crane commonly used in construction and industrial applications.
During the 5 week program you will take the following written and practical exams for NCCCO certification:
Telescopic Boom Fixed Cab Cranes (TSS) are a type of crane that feature a boom that can extend and retract, allowing for increased reach and versatility.
Telescopic Boom Swing Cab Cranes, also known as TLL cranes, are a type of mobile crane commonly used in construction and industrial applications.
Lattice Boom Cranes (LAT) include crawler and truck cranes, featuring a lattice framework for high strength and extended reach, ideal for heavy lifting and long-reach tasks.
The practical exams are comprised of six main tasks that increase progressively in the skill level tested. Skills tested are: inspecting the equipment, hoisting, booming, swinging, following hand signals, and combination (multifunction) operations. Crane operation with load and without load is required.. The NCCCO adapts the practical exam site layout for each crane certification category to ensure the examination remains standardized for all candidates wherever and whenever they may test.
The following sections describe the specific tasks candidates will be performing when taking the practical exam.

A Rigger is the person who attaches a load to the crane using lifting attachments. An in-house Qualified Rigger that has passed a written and a practical test will receive a Qualification card stating they have completed and met the requirements set forth be OSHA 1926-1400.
A signal person is needed when heavy equipment is traveling and the view of the direction of travel is obstructed, if the point of operation (the load travel or area near or at the load placement) is not in full view of the operator, or if there are specific site safety concerns in which the operator or person handling the load determines that it is necessary to use a signal person.
