Sheridan sits at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains along I-90, a ranching and small-business town with coal country to the east and Montana to the north. It's also where The Online Crane School is based. Our Sheridan crane certification prep lets local operators study online and head into the practical exam fully prepared.
Sheridan sits under Wyoming's State Plan, which enforces crane rules at least as protective as federal OSHA.
Construction crane operators need a card from an accredited body; NCCCO is the most common. Wyoming has no separate license.
Crews working across the border should check Montana's requirements for those jobs.
Confirm current requirements with Wyoming OSHA and your certifying body.
Local hospital, school and commercial projects use mobile cranes and boom trucks.
Coal and energy operations in the region need riggers and equipment-moving crews.
Power and telecom crews rely on digger derricks — see our utility crew program.
