A certificate is issued by CCO for those individuals who successfully complete both the Written and Practical tests on up to 4 different categories of cranes. In recent years there has been a significant increase of the CCO being required of crane operators on certain projects. Crane Safety classes are available to members every quarter. Scheduling for the Practical portion of the test at the Training Site can be arranged for those members who pass the written test. Reimbursement is available, up to a maximum of $590.00, for members who successfully receive certification and who work under a contract that contributes to the Apprenticeship Program.
Recertification is required every 5 years to retain the CCO certification. In most cases this only requires passing of the Written Tests for those who have previously passed the Practical Tests. Crane Safety classes are also available prior to the test for those taking the recertification. Reimbursement is available, up to a maximum of $380.00, for members who successfully recertify and who work under a contract that contributes to the Apprenticeship Program. CCO has transitioned to an online application for all of their written exams. Questions from written test candidates can be directed to candidate@nccco.org; or to the Apprenticeship Office. Candidates must login to the NCCCO Portal, identify the exams they are registering for, and provide payment during the application process.
