Because of its third-party status as an independent
provider of certification, the National Commission
for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO)
does not offer training. Third-party providers
of services are generally prohibited from offering
any related service because of a potential conflict
of interest in the outcome of the certification
process.
Nevertheless, NCCCO considers training to be
vital to its goal of improving safety in the
workplace. Indeed, one of its principal aims
has been to stimulate the recognition for the
need for professional instruction in the knowledge
and skills that define crane operator competency.
NCCCO recommends any candidate or instructor
wishing to prepare for the CCO certification
exam to utilize the study materials listed in
the Candidate Handbook, and to carefully review
the Knowledge Areas listed there. NCCCO also
strongly urges employers or candidates seeking
training to submit the CCO Knowledge Areas to
any training firm they may consider utilizing
to ensure their curriculum matches the knowledge
tested on the NCCCO exam.
While NCCCO is unable to recommend or endorse
any particular training company, we have prepared
a list
of firms that have indicated they will
offer preparatory training for the CCO certification
exams.
Further guidance on identifying
appropriate sources of training is available
in the downloadable
document Training
Guidelines.
