About California Crane School

Serving the California crane industry for 20 years

At California Crane School we recognize that our students often come from a variety of professions beyond full-time crane operation including fields like water districts, electrical services, tree care and maintenance. To cater to this diverse array of backgrounds we have designed a fast-paced program that combines hands-on training with practical assessments empowering anyone to transition from a novice to a competent crane operator in just three days.

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 By collaborating with the NCCCO, we have successfully reformed this outdated process, ensuring a seamless and efficient certification journey for future crane operators.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.
