The Boom Truck Operator Training program is tailored to those who will specifically be operating boom trucks. Our mobile crane class is specifically condensed into boom truck operation. The information provided in the classroom is reinforced with hands-on application sessions on a boom truck crane at CICB’s Orlando/Houston 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.
CICB’s Boom Truck Operator Training program is hands-on extensive and generally lasts between two and three days, depending on prior experience.
