CICB Invests in Their Facilities To Offer CCO® Computer-Based Testing

HOUSTON, Jan. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (CCO®) is a nonprofit organization that provides crane operator certifications accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB). CCO has phased out in-person, on-paper certification testing and transitioned to computer-based testing.

CICB is prepared for the switch to computer-based testing and can help your team become familiar with the new processes and tools. Their Orlando and Houston locations are now official Event Online Testing sites, enabling students to take their CCO exams at these facilities.

CICB's trainers are certified subject matter experts on the topics they teach. They stay current on the latest testing processes, including CCO's online procedures.

What This Investment Means for Testers, Employers, and the Industry

Investing in computer-based testing enables students to complete their studying, preparation and testing in one location. CICB coordinates the administrative steps with the CCO, providing a seamless process.

Employers benefit from a simplified scheduling procedure and reduced operational downtime. Companies also have access to CICB's experts throughout the process, ensuring fast answers to questions and prompt issue resolution.

For the lifting industry, switching to computers enables the modernization of its testing methodology, which enhances efficiency and security and facilitates scheduling flexibility. This modernization also reflects the technological advancements being implemented in the field, as newer cranes increasingly utilize computerized technology.

Our site has been using CICB for a number of years to train and maintain certification for our crane operators. They exhibit an extensive background in the crane industry and their approach to training is very thorough and comprehensive. CICB’s professional instructors are highly dedicated and motivate everyone in the class to strive for excellence. The material is well-organized and the training is presented in a clear and concise manner. The classroom instruction and actual hands-on training go beyond our expectations. Our employees leave the class with a better understanding of crane operation, their capabilities, and job safety.”

This class was one of the best I have ever coordinated for our employees! Jason was, by far, the best instructor I have ever seen present an extremely technical course. His personality was perfect for the audience and made him very relatable. His technical proficiency was exemplary! He is completely capable of and, for the most part, did teach the entire class without referring to the slides or reference material. He also went way above and beyond in his commitment to ensuring the students not only learned but retained the material and stayed late into each evening to assist those requiring additional assistance. The employees could not say enough great things about Jason's skills and commitment to learning. We now have 10 employees trained to operate our cranes and, even though the majority of them do not work together, a group of employees that overcame some adversity and became a cohesive team. They are begging me to bring the CICB back!”

The Instructor Larry Kime is absolutely one of the best instructors I have ever had, and I have a degree in mechanical engineering. Larry’s knowledge both written and practical is current and accessible. I would recommend Larry to a new beginner or someone that has been in the lifting industry their whole career
