Shawmut Equipment Company, the Manitowoc dealer for New England and the Maritime Provinces of Canada, has scheduled a course to provide test preparation and testing for mobile crane operators April 23–27 at its South Easton, MA location.

“Participants receive both classroom test preparation and hands on preparation for the practical exams with cranes at Shawmut’s facility,” says Kevin O’Connell, vice president at Shawmut Equipment Company. “We focus on all the basics covered on both the written and practical exams—operation techniques, load charts, jobsite safety and technical knowledge.”

Participants in the course will receive test preparation and take the written and practical examinations for the National Certification of Crane Operators crane operator certification for swing cab mobile cranes and fixed cab mobile cranes. The fee for the course is $1,500 for each participant. The deadline for registration is April 6.

The class provides practical hands-on training and includes the NCCCO practical and written exams, which meet OSHA requirements for mobile crane operators. Shawmut Equipment Company fully endorses the national certification program offered by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO), and offers the class to prepare candidates for the CCO certification examinations.

An additional day of Rigger/Signalperson training is available for an extra fee of $199 per person. Candidates who successfully complete the one day program will receive an ATS OSHA Compliant Qualification Wallet Card. Participants may sign up for the Rigger/Signalperson session independently or in addition to the NCCCO Crane Operator testing.
