Fees

1 Practical Exam Fee - The $70 CIC Practical Exam fee does not cover the cost of Practical Exam Administration or Exam Site Fees. The candidate pays these fees directly to a Practical Examiner and Practical Exam Site. These fees are variable, as Practical Examiners and Exam Sites are private entities not employed by CIC. CIC will maintain neutrality in the market and will not engage in price fixing with any organization.

​

2 Recertification Practical Exam - No Practical Exam is required for Recertification if candidate has accumulated at least 1,000 crane operator-related hours over the most recent five years and meets the remaining eligibility requirements. If they have less than 1,000 hours, they will need to take and pay all associated Practical Exam Fees.
