Crane Operator Certifications for SLS Employees

We have gotten some questions from employees that would like to get their NCCER Crane Operator Certification or Rigging Certification. We are offering a self-study/tutor program for motivated individuals.

Step 1: Check out NCCER Book Kit from Chris Trejo

Two week check out period
First come first serve
Study on the employee’s own time
If you have questions while going through the books, get with Chris for tutoring on specific subjects or practice tests.
Schedule test date at time of book checkout

Step 2: Test

SLS picks up testing fees for first try practical and written

Retesting / Additional Training:

If the employee fails any part, the employee is responsible for retest fees
In the event of a second fail, the employee is responsible for scheduling tutoring with Chris. The tutoring will be available on Chris’ schedule, but the employee must do the tutoring/testing on their own time.
