Using the crane training course catalog

This crane training course catalog lists each course, exam and practice option we sell, with its published price. Filter by category to narrow the list:

  • Mobile crane classes, from the 3-week and 5-week initial programs to the 4-week lattice class and classroom-only recertification prep
  • Practical exams only, for candidates who need a TSS, TLL or LAT practical without a full course
  • Practice time, sold by the hour on telescopic or lattice boom cranes, with or without coaching
  • Rigger and signalperson courses, including qualification classes and certification packages with practicals

Not sure which item fits? Our training programs overview explains who each course is designed for, and the NCCCO certification guide covers which exams apply to your work.

How enrollment works

You can enroll two ways. Most courses on this page have an Enroll & Pay Online box: choose the number of students and a class date, then pay by card through Stripe's secure checkout. You get an emailed receipt and our office follows up to confirm your seat. If you would rather be invoiced, pay another way or ask questions first, request enrollment with the form and the office will confirm your seat and payment options.

Have your preferred start date ready from the class schedule. A few items, such as the signal person practical on its own, are priced on request, so call (813) 402-2017 for current pricing. Companies booking several employees or an on-site class should use the group training request page instead.
