Nationwide Crane Training is the go-to crane operator training school in the USA with over 11 years as an industry leader. We’ve designed classes that take anyone from the novice to an NCCCO certified crane operator quickly.
While similar training courses lump students into groups of 30 or more and can take up to six weeks, Nationwide Crane Training’s intensive Crane Boot Camp limits class size to just five students and seven days. Students get personal instruction from teachers with decades of real-world experience under their belts and more time “in the seat.”
We’re the only crane training school in the country that guarantees students will pass the written portion of their NCCCO testing – a testament to the quality of our courses.
With our tuition rates being less than half of what other crane schools charge, it’s not hard to see why Nationwide Crane Training continues to be the crane operator training school of choice for students and companies all over the country.

What our Crane Operator Training Classes Cover:
Skills You’ll Learn:
To obtain crane operator certification through the NCCCO, each candidate must pass a written core exam and at least one specialty exam. Additionally, candidates must pass a hands-on practical exam within 12 months of passing the written portions.
The written core exam includes 90 multiple choice questions. The Mobile Crane Operator Written Examination consists of a Core Examination in crane operation and up to four crane Specialty Examinations. Certification requires competency in both the Core and one or more Specialty designation(s).
The Core Examination has 90 multiple-choice questions. Candidates are allowed 90 minutes to complete the Core Examination. Each Specialty Examinations consists of 26 multiple-choice questions. Candidates are allowed 60 minutes to complete each Specialty Examination.
All candidates are required to take the Core Examination, regardless of the Specialty(s) in which they wish to be certified. Each of the specialty exams includes 26 questions. All questions on both the core and specialty exams are given in a multiple choice format.
(NCT’s exam preparation is unique and prepares the candidates by giving them multiple practice exams, which are harder than the actual NCCCO exams.)
A Test Site Coordinator will answer all your questions and help you enroll in the appropriate course.
