What we provide
We provide self-paced online written-exam preparation and safety training. Crane operator, rigger and signal person certifications are issued by independent certifying bodies such as NCCCO, CIC, NCCER and OECP after you pass their written and practical exams. Our courses are not the certification itself, do not replace a practical exam or hands-on training, and we cannot guarantee that you will pass any exam or be certified.
Exam fees charged by certifying bodies and test sites are separate from our course fees and are paid to them, not to us.
Educational information only
Articles, state guides, load chart study material and other content on this site are for education and exam preparation. Regulations and certification requirements change, so confirm current rules with OSHA, your state and the certifying body. Never use our study material to plan a real lift — always follow the manufacturer's load chart and manual for the specific crane, your employer's procedures and a qualified person's direction.
Your account
Student portal accounts are personal. Keep your sign-in details private, do not share your access with other people, and let us know straight away if you think someone else has used your account. We may suspend accounts that are shared or misused.
Fees and payment
Course prices are shown in US dollars on each course page. Payments in the student portal are processed by Stripe. Refunds are handled under our Refund Policy.
Acceptable use
- Do not copy, resell, record or redistribute course materials or exam-prep questions.
- Do not try to disrupt the site or portal, access other people's accounts, or get around security features.

Intellectual property
The course content, text, graphics and logos on this site belong to The Online Crane Center or are used with permission. Your enrollment gives you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the course for your own study during your access period. Names of certifying bodies and crane manufacturers belong to their owners and are used only to describe the exams and equipment our courses relate to.
Links to other sites
We link to other websites, such as OSHA and the certifying bodies, for your convenience. We are not responsible for their content or availability.
Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The site and courses are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the site or courses, and our total liability for any claim relating to a course is limited to the amount you paid for that course. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.

We may update these terms from time to time; the date at the top of this page shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, where our business is based. Questions? Email info@theonlinecraneschool.com, call (307) 355-0865, or read our Privacy Policy.
