The information provided in the classroom is reinforced with hands-on application sessions on a boom truck crane at CICB’s Orlando training facilities or with your equipment at your site. All personnel attending this program will gain significant and useful skills and will leave with a stronger understanding and appreciation of the requirements and responsibilities of Boom Truck Operators.
