Frequently Asked Questions

If the mobile crane is driven on a public road, most states require a Commercial Drivers License (CDL). If the crane is stationary or limited to certain area, such as a construction site, a CDL is often not a requirement.

A CDL is also not a requirement for any of the NCCCO practical exams (cranes are stationary), therefore you do not need a driver’s license to attend American Crane School’s crane operator certification program. However, your current or future employer may require that you have a valid driver’s license as part of their employment process.

Yes, you can still attend American Crane School’s NCCCO Crane Operator Certification course even if you have a DUI on your record. However, some employers may require a clean driving record as part of their employment process.

Sometimes the less a candidate knows about cranes the better they will do on the written tests. The reason for this is; candidates that have been operating cranes for years learned things a different way than the books want them to do it. This makes it more difficult for them to unlearn their ways and learn to do it by the book. This is what they are tested on with the crane operator certification exams.

If you have never operated a crane before we probably could not turn you into a super duper crane operator in 3 days. However, if you need to get certified, you come to the right place. If a candidate can add, subtract, and speaks English, we can easily get them passed the written tests the first time. If the candidate speaks English as a second language, we can also make it happen as we have done for hundreds of English as second language candidates.

As far as the practical exams go, if a candidate knows how to stop the load or hook from swinging, with a few pointers they can typically pass the practical exams. If not, they need to get some time on a crane. If no cranes are available to the candidate, our cranes are available at a cost of $150 per hour with an instructor (hand-on crane training). We can typically get a candidate who has never been on a crane through the practical test in less than 2 hours to pass the practical exams. This class is never meant to replace years of experience in the field or an 8400 hour apprenticeship program. The purpose of this program is to get that certification card in your pocket. American Crane School does not write the standards of what a crane operator should know, we are just the most effective program that gets candidates to meet the certification requirements.
