Resources for Mobile Crane Exam Preparation
It is important to note that CIC does not endorse any specific training program or company, nor does CIC provide a course of study that leads to certification. We recommend candidates choose high-quality training programs and invest time and effort on their own to gain both the knowledge and hands-on experience necessary for safe and effective crane operation.
The Resources Are Available To:
1. Provide candidates with a general overview of the testing domains for the Virtual and Practical Exams mentioned above. This information is also available in the “Understanding Exam Scores” section of the Candidate Handbook.
2. Provide manufacturer load charts used in each Mobile Crane Operator Exam so that the candidate may become familiar with them before their exams if they wish.
3. Provide an excellent list of resources, including relevant published materials, professional regulations and safety standards, and helpful contact information that may assist you as you look ahead toward your certification or recertification exams.
We encourage candidates to take the time to review these resources, pursue high-quality training, and seek feedback and evaluation from qualified individuals to prepare for certification exams.
