Exam overview
The Mobile Crane Operator certification is awarded by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO), which issues its certifications as CCO. Candidates must be at least 18, comply with CCO's substance abuse policy and code of ethics, and pass the Mobile Crane Operator Core written exam, at least one specialty written exam and the matching practical exam. The specialty designations are Lattice Boom Crane (LAT), Telescopic Boom Crane—Swing Cab (TLL) and Telescopic Boom Crane—Fixed Cab (TSS). The Core exam covers site conditions, operations, technical knowledge and load charts; each specialty exam covers only its crane type, with a large share on manufacturers' load charts. Candidates have 12 months after passing their first exam to pass the corresponding exams, and certification is valid for five years.
