About The Online Crane Center Crane Exam Prep from Wyoming

The Online Crane School โ€” also known as The Online Crane Center โ€” is based in Sheridan, Wyoming and exists for one reason: to help crane operators, riggers and signal persons pass the written exams that stand between them and certification. Everything we offer is online and self-paced, so the training comes to you.

  • Based in Sheridan, WY
  • 100% online coursework
  • NCCCO ยท CIC ยท NCCER ยท OECP prep

Our Mission

Crane work rewards people who know their machine and respect the load. Certification is how the industry confirms that knowledge, and since OSHA's crane rule took full effect, most construction operators need a card from an accredited organization. We started the school to make the study part of that journey easier to fit into a working life.

Instead of asking you to leave the job for a week of classroom time, we break the written-exam material into focused online lessons you can work through in the evenings, on weekends or between loads. Our programs cover mobile and tower cranes, overhead cranes, rigging, signaling and a range of specialty equipment.

What We Are โ€” and What We Aren't

We are a training provider, not a certifying body. Our courses prepare you for exams administered by NCCCO, CIC, NCCER and OECP. Those organizations issue the actual certification after you pass their written and hands-on practical exams. When you finish one of our courses, you receive a certificate of completion documenting your training.

The Values Behind Every Course

Safety comes first

Lessons are anchored in OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC and the ASME B30 standards, so the habits you build for the exam are the ones that keep crews safe.

Focused on the exam

We organize material around the published exam outlines and drill the topics candidates find hardest, especially load charts and rigging math.

Flexible by design

Self-paced online access means you control the schedule. Study on a phone in the truck or a laptop at the kitchen table.

Straight career advice

We'll help you pick the credential that matches your equipment and goals, and we'll tell you plainly what still has to happen in person.

Beyond standard cranes

Specialty programs cover digger derricks, drill rigs, pile drivers, telehandlers and concrete pumps alongside crane operator prep.

Free learning resources

Guides on practical tests, recertification and load charts sit alongside our crane certification blog for anyone to use.

How Our Online Training Works

Pick a course from the crane course catalog or go straight to the online store. You get access to lessons and practice questions you can repeat as often as you like. When you're confident, you register with the certifying body for its official written exam and arrange a practical exam at an approved test site.

Not sure where to begin? Our guide to practical training and seat time explains the hands-on side, and the recertification guide covers what happens five years down the road.
