CIC Receives Accreditation by ANSI

July 21, 2014 - Crane Institute Certification (CIC) has been accredited by ANSI for four of its crane operator certification programs. These programs include Crane Operator: Large Telescoping Boom Crane, Over 75 Tons; Crane Operator: Lattice Boom Crawler/Truck Crane, 1-300 Tons; Crane Operator: Medium Telescoping Boom Crane, 21-75 Tons; and Crane Operator: Small Telescoping Boom Crane, Under 21 Tons. CIC is now dually accredited by NCCA and ANSI.

 

“To earn ANSI accreditation, CIC participated in a rigorous review process that included submission of more than 11,000 pages of documentation for multiple levels of certifications that escalate by operator skill and knowledge,” said Debbie Dickinson, executive director of CIC.

 

As a result of the ANSI accreditation process, CIC updated its internal audit systems. In 2013, CIC added the capability to provide same-day scoring on practical exams, using electronic transmissions. Paperwork was streamlined while security protocols were improved. orking through the ANSI accreditation process helped CIC identify other areas of improvement and ways to reduce certification costs for new programs that are anticipated for release by year-end.

 

In addition to the ANSI accreditation, CIC recently fulfilled all requirements related to maintaining its five year re-accreditation by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).
