Mobile Crane Operator Training
The Mobile Crane Operator Training program is specifically designed to upgrade the existing knowledge and skill levels of experienced operators, trainees, safety personnel, inspectors, maintenance personnel, managers, and supervisors. The information provided in the classroom is reinforced with hands-on application sessions on mobile cranes at CICB’s Houston and Orlando training facilities or at your site. All personnel attending this program will gain significant and useful skills and will leave with a stronger understanding and appreciation of the requirements and responsibilities of Mobile Crane Operators Training they received.
Both five and ten day Mobile Crane Operator Training programs are offered. CICB recommends that trainee operators participate in the ten-day program to gain additional knowledge and seat time in CICB cranes.
