Jave was New England Crane School's longest-standing client. He worked on his boom truck certification for several years, but due to the unfortunate lack of opposable thumbs, he never passed his practical exam. He took advantage of our policy of allowing exam re-take candidates to attend future classes free of charge, however, and was often seen in the back of the classroom. He told us that it was the best thing about our operation, besides the crumbs that other students dropped on the floor from their lunches.

Our training classes are taught by experienced, NCCER- and NCCCO-certified crane operators who understand the practical realities and challenges of working safely and effectively on crane sites. Using a combination of instructor lectures, participant discussions, videotaped scenarios and hands-on practice, we go beyond the textbook and teach you what you really need to know, whether your focus is safety improvement, OSHA compliance or both.
What’s New
The OSHA compliance directive is out
In May of 2022, OSHA finally published its compliance directive for the Cranes and Derricks in Construction standard, which tells compliance officers what to look for on an inspection involving crane operations. We should expect to see stepped-up compliance efforts now, and the good news is, we've had years to get ready! Read a summary of the directive here.
