NCCCO Preferred by Pennsylvania Operators

August 22, 2011—More than 90 percent of the crane operator licenses so far issued in Pennsylvania are to operators with certifications from the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO), the Pennsylvania State Board of Crane Operators has reported.

 

Pennsylvania began accepting applications for its state crane operator license late last year, and already more than 1,450 licenses have been issued, with another 300 applications pending. By law, license applicants must be certified by an accredited national certification body, such as NCCCO.

 

“We are very pleased with the working relationship that we’ve developed with NCCCO,” said Penny Walker, board administrator, “and NCCCO has been very supportive, enabling the new process to run smoothly.”
