Mobile crane operators who take their practical (performance) examination through Crane Institute Certification (CIC) can now find out their results on the same day they take their test.
Headquartered in Sanford, Florida, just outside Orlando, CIC is accredited by ANSI/ANAB to administer both the written and practical examinations that most operators who run cranes in construction work must pass in order to earn the certifications required by OSHA regulations.
OSHA requires any operator who runs a crane that can lift 2,000 lbs. or more and is working in new construction application to be certified.
CIC is accredited to administer the written and practical examinations and to provide operators who pass both with the required certifications recognized by OSHA worldwide. The written exam tests the operator’s knowledge, whereas the practical exam tests the operator’s skill at running the crane.
The practical exam score is based on four skills that are vital to operating a crane well and safely: accuracy and depth perception in a timed challenge, hand-signal recognition, ability to control a load during a timed challenge, and exiting the crane safely.
CIC’s new Computer Auto Scoring system compiles the operator’s score on the practical exam and can tell candidates the same day whether they have passed.
