Ensure You’re Employing Skilled Crane Operators with the NCCCO Certification

Individuals who take part in PTS’s crane certification program have the opportunity to earn their crane operator certification from the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO). The NCCCO certification is the final part of a process established to educate individuals in the correct way to perform their assigned job duties when it comes to operating cranes. In order to be eligible to receive a certification, one must fulfill the following requirements:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Comply with NCCCO’s Substance Abuse Policy
  • Pass Written Examinations (Core and at least one Specialty)
  • Pass Practical Examination(s)—Candidates must pass the Practical exam within twelve months of passing the written examination
  • Comply with the NCCCO Code of Ethics

All PTS crane instructors are NCCCO certified, and we employ two NCCCO certified practical examiners. Students of the course must pass the written and practical exam to obtain this NCCCO certification.
