NCCCO practicals
We come to you! Did you know that your yard can be certified as an NCCCO test site? Imagine being able to get your practical done at your own yard on your own crane, whenever you want. Setting it up is cheap and easy, and Tier One Crane will take care of all of it for you.
Forever changing the way to get prepared for NCCCO exams.
Each online course is designed specifically for whichever crane type you desire. The content, quizzes, and exams are based strictly off of NCCCO’s four domains: Site, Operations, Technical Knowledge, and Manufacturers’ Load Charts. Each course has a separate interactive video for each lesson, followed up with quiz. Once you make it through each lesson, you will take a final exam for that course. By the end of your course, you will be confident and fully prepared to take the actual NCCCO exam.
The old way of NCCCO test preparation..
I came up with the idea of making these online courses because of personal experiences. After my first five years as a crane operator, it was time to re-certify. I started looking online for somewhere to get some re-certification training so I could get brushed up on all of the information needed to know to ensure I passed. After researching, I realized that the only way I could get prep training for the exams was to travel three hours away and spend big money! On top of that I would miss almost a week of work for the training causing me to lose even more money! I tried to look for other avenues, but this seemed to be the only way. I started reaching out to other crane operators, and they we’re running into the same problems. Some guys just hoped for the best and took the exams without any training before hand. Many of them we’re failing the exams and losing their NCCCO certifications! I had to do something about it.
The fix..
I’ve spent the last year and a half structuring these courses to have better content than you would get in person. This is the technology age, and we need to leverage it to make things easier for us.
Here are a list of reasons why this training is so great, and how it will benefit you:
- Study at your own pace.
- Pause, re-wind, and fast forward through the content. Watch it as many times as you need to ensure you’re not missing anything.
- Don’t miss any time at work.
- No need to schedule days off to make time for preparation training. Courses content, quizzes, and exams are available 24/7 after purchase.
- Content has been filtered to offering only the information you need to know.
- No need to go through OSHA page by page with a highlighter anymore. I’ve already done that for you, and it’s all been synthesized into the content.
- Quizzes and exams are the same format as actual NCCCO exams.
- Questions in exams and quizzes are based off of the content in the relevant lesson. Exams are timed, and they’re the same type of questions you will see on your actual exams. There’s just no better way to get prepared, especially if you decide to take your NCCCO exam(s) on the computer as opposed to paper pencil.
- Training is based off of NCCCO website layout of what they expect.
- NCCCO lists each and every term, part, function, rule, and law you need to know to pass the exam for every aspect. I went through each and every sentence for each crane type on NCCCO’s outline, and implemented it into the training. Streamlined, clear, and clean cut content fresh in your brain.
- Load charts described with no details left out.
- Every single detail for load charts is spelled out for you, and not just any load charts, the training is done on similar charts you will use when you take your actual NCCCO exam. Using the most cutting edge recording software, it’s 10 times better than going over charts with you in person. We cover the basics/structure of the charts, then we go over some sample questions together. After that you will do some timed load chart questions by yourself, similar to the way you’re tested on your actual NCCCO exam. You will be a load chart master at the end of the training.
- All of the training can be done from your smart phone, 24/7.
- No access to a computer? No problem. Content, quizzes, and exams can all be done from your mobile phone. This will open up your schedule to actually do the training tremendously. Any sort of free time, even if it’s just 10 minutes can be utilized to prepare for your exam.
