How long does it take to get certified as a crane operator?

To become a NCCCO certified crane operator you must successfully pass the NCCCO written and practical exams. This process can take as few as 3 days, depending on what crane operator school you go to for your preparatory training. Upon successful completion of these NCCCO exams, you can expect to receive your certification card in the mail within a few weeks. By attending our 3-Day or 5-Day course, you can earn your NCCCO mobile crane operator certification for swing and fixed cab cranes (also includes Service Truck and Boom Truck cranes).
