Dover's Crane Rules

Accredited card

Covered construction crane operators need certification from NCCCO, CIC, NCCER or OECP under OSHA 1926.1427.

Dover Certification Plan

  1. Choose your card

    Waterfront, downtown or plant work each favor different credentials.

  2. Study online

    Fit lessons around tides, shifts and family time.

  3. Pass the written exam

    Book a proctored test in New Hampshire or nearby Maine.

  4. Finish the practical

    Review how practical training works and book a site.

Does Online Prep Count?

Seacoast employers hire certified operators, and the certification comes from passing accredited written and practical exams. Where you studied for the written test matters far less than the card in your wallet and how you perform in the seat.

Online study lets you cover load charts, rigging math and OSHA rules thoroughly, then put your energy into seat time before the practical.

Dover also sits close to the Maine border, so local operators regularly work on both sides of the Piscataqua. An accredited card travels with you; any extra state or site requirements are worth checking before each new job.
