Committees

NCCCO develops and maintains its certification programs through committees that report to the Board of Directors. A total of seven Exam Management Committees are responsible for monitoring and participating in the development of crane operator certification examinations for mobile, tower, overhead and articulating crane operators, as well as signalpersons and riggers. Committee members suggest revisions to NCCCO's testing procedures; work with and monitor the administration of the exams; oversee the work of item writers; monitor and oversee testing companies that may be contracted with for exam development and/or administration; and collect data necessary for psychometrically sound examinations.

Two additional committees that play an important role in the review, discipline and appeals processes. The Ethics and Discipline Committee is responsible for establishing standards of conduct - such as ethical standards, policies and procedures for disciplinary action - and implementing those standards, policies and procedures. The Appeals Committee is responsible for establishing policies and procedures for hearing appeals of decisions, and for hearing such appeals.
