We are more than a

Training Certification Program

Since its creation in 2004, California Crane School has led the way in revolutionizing crane operator training by introducing the first all-inclusive, turn-key NCCCO certification course in the nation. Prior to our groundbreaking approach, students faced delays as they awaited written exam results before attempting their practical assessments. By collaborating with the NCCCO, we have successfully reformed this outdated process, ensuring a seamless and efficient certification journey for future crane operators.

California Crane school’s initiative and training expertise also lead to the first Candidate to pass the NCCCO CBT Computer Based Testing exams. California Crane School also pioneered many of the Tablet Based Testing™ methods used by the crane operator certification industry today.

“Great class. One of the best instructor methods of any course I have taken period!”
