Crane Operator Test Preparation and Certification Class

This is a four-day class and includes written and practical testing. Most of our classes offer certification through the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), but we also do at least one annual class through the NCCCO. Both certifications meet OSHA's requirement for nationally accredited certification for operators by 2017. Pricing includes all books and materials, test fees, written exam re-takes if you don't pass on the first try, and crane rental for the practical exam if you need it (operators may also choose to bring their own crane to test in). It also includes an optional signal/rigging class for any operator who needs a qualification card.

OSHA Publishes Final Rule on Operator Certification and Qualification

On November 9, 2018, OSHA published the long-awaited final rule addressing both operator certification and operator qualification. The final deadline for operator certification is December 10, 2018, and certification must be by type but is no longer required to be by capacity. Employers are required to pay for the cost of certification for any currently employed operator, and the re-certification requirement remains at every five years.

Recognizing that certification is not enough to ensure an operator is qualified to perform specific tasks on specific equipment, the final rule also adds a requirement for the employer to conduct a task- and equipment-specific evaluation of each operator, and make documentation of that evaluation available on the jobsite. This is the most important change to the regulation. To read more about this requirement, click here for our recent newsletter on the subject.
