Crane Training Course Designed for All Levels
Whether it is three days or three weeks a crane training school can never teach a candidate everything that is needed to become a proficient crane operator. This is not the type of thing that can be learned in a classroom or a controlled field environment. Crane operation is something that is learned out in the field on real job sites around experienced personnel. California Cane School’s program is designed to get you certified and get you out there. California Crane School does not set the crane operator certification standards, we are just the quickest most efficient way of getting you to meeting them.
California Crane School understands that most of the candidates who attend this class are not full time crane operators, some have other professions such as plumbers, mechanics, construction workers, linemen, truck drivers,and maintenance workers that only operate a crane from time to time.
This is why California Crane School designed an intense and fun course, complete with practical (hands on) testing that will get anyone from the novice to a full time crane operator through the crane operator certification written tests with ease in just 2.5 days. (crane safety included).
California Crane School does not just teach crane test preparation, we get candidates to understand the principles of crane operation & crane safety. These methods are what makes California Crane School so effective.
We have the reputation and the pass rates that prove it.
A Record of Success Backed by Guarantee
When shopping for crane operator certification training, be sure the training company guarantees that the candidates will pass the crane operator certification written tests. Don’t throw your money away for an ineffective training class.
California Crane School stands behind their training and guarantees passing results on the certification written tests or our next open enrollment class is free.
Beginning June 1, 2005 California crane operators will have to be certified. It is estimated that there will be over 30,000 California crane operators in need of certification. It is also estimated that the majority of them will fail the certification written tests due to lack of formal training. California Crane School has created a curriculum and program complete with cranes at all our locations, designed to assist candidates in the successful completion of the crane operator certification process in just 2.5 days.
The quality of a crane operator certification program is difficult to make tangible. Essential aspects to keep in mind when researching a program include: pass rate, references, time it takes to complete the process, total price to get a crane operator certified, and overall customer satisfaction. Furthermore, should an operator fail a portion of the testing process, the cost, location, and timely availability of re-testing are other critical factors.
Many of California Crane School’s customers are former patrons of other crane training programs. Through their feedback we have learned that it is not uncommon for their candidates to return up to three times to pass all of their crane operator certification tests.
Consideration of these important elements will ensure a smooth and some what painless process for crane operator certification.
