Crane & Rigging Training in Mississippi
Industry-Leading Training at Your Location.
On-Site Certification and Rigger Training
Mississippi's shipbuilding, petrochemical, and manufacturing sectors depend on skilled crane operators for heavy lifting operations. Specialized training develops the technical proficiency these industries require while meeting federal safety regulations and reducing operational hazards.
CICB delivers on-site crane and rigger training to Mississippi facilities statewide. Instructors travel to your location with programs addressing your equipment types, operational challenges, and industry-specific safety requirements, serving operators, riggers, inspectors, and supervisory personnel.
Training Services for Mississippi Operations
CICB reaches industrial operations from Jackson to the Gulf Coast shipbuilding centers of Gulfport, Biloxi, and Pascagoula. Bringing training to your facility means personnel gain experience on your actual cranes and lifting equipment rather than generic training machines. This site-specific approach ensures skills transfer directly to your work environment while allowing you to maintain production schedules.
Industrial Training Programs
Programs accommodate round-the-clock operations common in Mississippi's industrial facilities. Instruction adapts to your shift patterns, whether supporting continuous manufacturing processes or project-based construction schedules.
Crane Operator Training
Build operator expertise for mobile cranes, overhead cranes, articulating boom equipment, boom trucks, and pedestal cranes matching your operational needs. Qualification programs address general industry and manufacturing requirements, while NCCCO certification courses serve construction operations subject to OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC. Training prepares candidates for both written tests and hands-on evaluations conducted by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators, with emphasis on equipment configurations common in shipbuilding, petrochemical, and heavy manufacturing environments.

CICB provides truly exceptional overhead crane, hoist, and rigging training. The sessions are highly engaging, interactive, and hands-on—exactly what our team needs to build the confidence and capability required to perform safe, compliant lifts in our industrial environment.
A standout element of the experience is Larry’s delivery. His passion for the craft, deep expertise, and energetic facilitation style make even complex concepts easy to understand and apply. Our employees consistently walk away feeling well-prepared and motivated to use what they’ve learned.
I highly recommend CICB to any organization looking for high‑quality, safety‑focused training delivered by people who truly care about their craft and their customers."
Our site has been using CICB for a number of years to train and maintain certification for our crane operators. They exhibit an extensive background in the crane industry and their approach to training is very thorough and comprehensive. CICB’s professional instructors are highly dedicated and motivate everyone in the class to strive for excellence. The material is well-organized and the training is presented in a clear and concise manner. The classroom instruction and actual hands-on training go beyond our expectations. Our employees leave the class with a better understanding of crane operation, their capabilities, and job safety.”
This class was one of the best I have ever coordinated for our employees! Jason was, by far, the best instructor I have ever seen present an extremely technical course. His personality was perfect for the audience and made him very relatable. His technical proficiency was exemplary! He is completely capable of and, for the most part, did teach the entire class without referring to the slides or reference material. He also went way above and beyond in his commitment to ensuring the students not only learned but retained the material and stayed late into each evening to assist those requiring additional assistance. The employees could not say enough great things about Jason's skills and commitment to learning. We now have 10 employees trained to operate our cranes and, even though the majority of them do not work together, a group of employees that overcame some adversity and became a cohesive team. They are begging me to bring the CICB back!”
The Instructor Larry Kime is absolutely one of the best instructors I have ever had, and I have a degree in mechanical engineering. Larry’s knowledge both written and practical is current and accessible. I would recommend Larry to a new beginner or someone that has been in the lifting industry their whole career."
