July 2007:
Crane Tech Overhead Crane Practical Examiner Workshop
Crane Tech
employees most likely to provide NCCCO
Overhead Crane Certification training attended a two day
NCCCO Overhead Crane workshop in Tampa July 7th and 8th.
Those instructors participating in the workshop received valuable training from
Danny Thiemens of the NCCCO staff.
The NCCCO workshop was preceded with a day of training
that included having the instructors work as a team
locating all references to the CCO overhead crane domains
within the recommended study materials. By
having a group of experts spend this much time locating
and discussing the various aspects of each reference
Crane Tech also put their Overhead Crane CCO prep
training course on track.
Photographs below illustrate the training, Practical
Examination workshop, and instructors actually testing
in the CCO designed test site. |

for their CCO written exam. |

Some
of the guys work to lay out the
test course. With one leg of the right angle
corridor established, Tony Dotto and Danny Thiemens work to establish other parts of the
course. |
It's
critical that the test course is set up
correctly. As Danny Thiemens states; "the
validity of the NCCCO program is that a test
provided in Tampa is the same as a test
administered in Houston, Seattle or anywhere. Crane
Tech's staff learned not just how to set up a
course, they also learned how to check and
re-check its' accuracy. |

Jim
Roushey was the first Crane Tech instructor to
take the practical exam. Jim receives verbatim
instruction from examiner Kevin Meadows while
Carl Simonye serves as test proctor. |
Jim,
like other Crane Tech instructors attending,
successfully negotiated the test course.
In this picture Jim is negotiating the right
angle corridor. |
