Since 2004, American Crane School has remained committed to providing high-quality crane operator certification training at competitive and affordable prices. We believe that obtaining professional certification should be both accessible and cost-effective, without sacrificing the quality of instruction, training, or testing our students deserve. As costs throughout the industry continue to evolve, we remain dedicated to delivering exceptional value while helping individuals advance their careers as certified crane operators.
Due to recent increases in testing fees, we must make corresponding adjustments to our pricing. These changes are intended solely to offset the additional testing costs, allowing us to maintain the same quality of training and service our students have come to expect.
The following price changes go into effect on January 1, 2027. However, you can lock in the current prices before they increase.
