TRAINING FOR CCO CERTIFICATION
Total Equipment Training endorses the national certification program offered by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (CCO), and provides training to prepare candidates to pass the written and practical examinations and secure their CCO certifications.
ABOUT CCO CERTIFICATIONS
The CCO was formed in 1995 as an independent, not-for-profit organization to establish and administer a nationwide program for the certification of crane operators. They are accredited by OSHA and ASME to meet all testing standards.
CCO Certification is considered the “gold” standard in crane and crane-related personnel certifications. Many states require CCO Certification as a prerequisite of obtaining licensing. CCO provides a list of reference materials to study to be successful in passing the exam. It is the candidate’s responsibility to obtain and study all of the reference materials. Total Equipment Training has gathered these materials and has arranged them in to easy-to-read study guides.
CCO CERTIFICATION TRAINING WITH TOTAL EQUIPMENT TRAINING
Total Equipment Training provides candidates with the study materials they need, classroom preparation, mock practice tests, and practical practice using the actual crane and course used for the exam to be successful in passing the exam.

THE REQUIREMENT OF CCO CERTIFICATION
According to OSHA, a crane operator must be certified by an accredited certifying entity like CCO in order to operate a crane. Employers must evaluate their crane operators accordingly to ensure operator compliance, safety, and expertise. Requiring a CCO Certification establishes a baseline level of operator efficiency that employers can expect out of crane operators, increasing job site safety and enforcing best practices.
VALIDITY OF CCO CERTIFICATIONS
A CCO Certification is valid for five years. Candidates must complete recertification within the 12 months leading up to their current certification’s expiration date.
