Through our specialized knowledge of what it takes to become a Certified Rigger, full-time staff dedicated to the certification process—including NCCCO Certified Riggers and NCCCO Accredited Practical Examiners—and our proprietary educational materials, Crane Tech can help riggers and operators gain these credentials that will set them apart.

Riggers who successfully complete Crane Tech’s NCCCO Rigger Level I certification preparation program are better equipped to make positive decisions regarding safety and control of their loads. We believe that it’s not how well one does on a test, but how well one can maintain an accident-free site long term.

Examinations

After the preparation and training, Crane Tech will facilitate the written and practical exams required for certification. To be NCCCO certified for a five-year period, candidates must pass the written exam and the practical exam.
The written exam consist of 60 multiple-choice questions and candidates are allowed 60 minutes to complete the test. The practical examination is comprised of four main tasks that increase progressively in the skill level tested. Candidates’ skills are tested in demonstrating pre-use rigging inspection, rigging hitches, rigging connections, and basic knots.

Moving to Rigger II Certification

Rigger Level I graduates are encouraged to “step up” to Rigger Level II when they feel they are ready for the more challenging exams. Rigger Level II can be added at any time; however, if a Rigger Level I graduate is in the final year of certification, the graduate may take the Rigger Level II written exam in place of the Rigger Level I recertification exam. In order to achieve full Rigger Level II certification, the candidate must pass the practical exam within 12 months of passing the Rigger Level II written exam.
