Winter Study in the Valley
Fox Valley winters slow outdoor construction, which makes them ideal for online study. When spring practical exam dates open up, you'll be ready to book.
Mill outages are also a good time to plan ahead: if your plant brings in contract crane crews during a rebuild, watching how they rig and signal is a useful complement to the online lessons.
