About CCO Certifications
The CCO, established in 1995, is an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to creating and administering a nationwide certification program for crane operators. They are accredited by OSHA and ASME, ensuring that their testing standards meet the highest industry requirements.
CCO Certification stands as the “gold” standard in crane and crane-related personnel certifications. Many states now require CCO Certification as a prerequisite for obtaining licensing. CCO provides a list of reference materials to study for exam preparation, and it is the candidate’s responsibility to acquire and study these materials. Total Equipment Training has gathered these resources and organized them into easy-to-read mobile crane study guides.
In addition to our heavy equipment study materials, Total Equipment Training offers flexible in-person CCO training options to accommodate your needs.
Crane Operator Certification and Licensing Requirements
It’s crucial to distinguish between “licensing” and “certification” for heavy equipment operators. Licensing, the stricter of the two, is a governmental requirement for practicing a specific profession or occupation. This typically involves an examination, often alongside training and experience prerequisites. Certification is typically a voluntary process where individuals are acknowledged for their knowledge and skills. Certification only becomes mandatory when it forms the foundation of a state or federal licensing program, such as the CCO crane operator certification program or when employers and project owners make it a condition of employment.
Licensing Requirements
Currently, crane operators in 16 states and 7 cities face licensing requirements, subject to periodic administrative changes. It’s essential to stay updated by contacting the relevant authorities for the latest information. While Delaware currently does not impose licensing requirements for crane operators, it’s important to be aware of state-specific regulations.
