Already Certified? Prepare for Recertification
NCCCO certifications last five years. Our recertification program reviews the material on renewal exams so you can refresh rules and chart skills before your card expires.
Recertification prep course →How to Choose the Right Course
Start with your machine
Match the course to the equipment you operate today or will operate on your next job. Employers usually specify the designation they need.
Pick a certifying body
NCCCO, CIC, NCCER and OECP all issue accredited credentials. Our certifier guide compares them side by side.
Add rigging or signaling
Many crews pair an operator credential with Rigger Level 1 or signal person certification to cover more roles on site.
Plan the practical
Every certification also needs a hands-on exam. Read our practical test checklist early so seat time doesn't hold you up.
