July 1, 2015 – Each year, Crane & Rigging Hot Line and the Association of Crane & Rigging Professionals (ACRP) recognize two crane and rigging industry trainers—a Corporate Trainer and a Professional Trainer—who use innovative instruction, encourage responsibility among their peers or companies, and make a positive impact on their students, environment, and industry. The deadline for the 2015 Top Trainer Award is July 31, 2015.

Winners receive complimentary registration to the 2016 ACRP General Assembly and Workshop, where they will be presented with a trophy during an awards ceremony.

Both winners and those receiving Honorable Mention will receive free registration to attend the next scheduled Crane & Rigging Conference. The first 30 people making a nomination will be sent a 2015 Hot Line Crane Guide, featuring data on crane models from more than 100 manufacturers, circa 1950 to 2014.
Tips for Making a 2015 Nomination
- Clear communication and documentation supporting the trainer’s qualities and accomplishments, such as letters from customers, trainer evaluations, and the trainer’s resume.
- Supporting evidence of the trainer’s positive impact on students, the work environment, or the industry through evaluations or comments from trainees.
- Evidence of the trainer’s use of innovative training techniques or hands-on instruction.
- Proof of how the trainer encouraged peer or corporate accountability.
- Any other examples of quantitative or anecdotal evidence that training was successful.
- While recognition is not a popularity contest, it is helpful when multiple nominations are made for an individual, providing varying personal testimony from colleagues or students.
