To assist the vast number of inquiries from the workforce seeking to gain and/or upgrade their skills on a lattice boom crawler crane, Crane Inspection & Certification Bureau (CICB) has announced a price reduction in the CICB price of administering the popular NCCCO practical exams in Houston, TX.
With construction industry growth outpacing skilled equipment operator talent, Crane Inspection & Certification Bureau (CICB), is taking steps to assist in closing the skills gap by offering affordable NCCCO practical exams at their Houston, TX training center. The 20% reduction in CICB’s test administration price to $800 enables companies to upgrade the skills of their current workforce and affords the independent operator the chance to gain additional skills, opening employment opportunities in multiple industries.
“Current operators are advancing their skillset by adding the lattice boom crawler endorsement to their current certification,” said John O’Connor, CICB’s Houston Operations Manager, “and the lower price also permits affordability in skill development for the next generation of operators.”
Operators will receive an hour of hands-on training on the crane before their National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) Lattice Boom Crawler Practical Exam. In addition, novice operators are also afforded hands-on training on CICB’s Vortex training simulator from CM Labs. The simulator is equipped with multiple large HD screens which displays lattice boom crawler crane simulations. The realistic experience of Vortex simulator training not only reinforces learning for the beginners, but also benefits the advanced operator with certification-level scenarios similar to a NCCCO exam.
