Montana Crane Training Built Around Your Operations
Businesses across construction, manufacturing, energy, and industrial environments depend on qualified crane operators, riggers, and inspectors to meet OSHA regulations and maintain safe, productive workplaces. Montana crane training from CICB brings expert-led instruction directly to facilities across the state, eliminating the need for travel while keeping operations on schedule.
By bringing training on-site, employers reduce downtime, simplify scheduling, and keep entire teams aligned. Programs are structured around real equipment, real workflows, and real risks present in each workplace, supporting compliance without disrupting daily operations.
On-Site Crane Training
CICB provides on-site crane training that businesses can rely on when safety and compliance are nonnegotiable. Instruction is delivered at the customer’s facility, allowing operators, riggers, and inspectors to train in their actual working environment.
This approach supports:
- Minimal production interruptions.
- Greater relevance through site-specific instruction.
- Flexible scheduling aligned with operational demands.
For supervisors managing crews, this process means fewer logistical challenges. For safety leaders, training that directly reflects workplace hazards. For operations managers, it delivers measurable value by reducing risk and improving workforce readiness.
Comprehensive Training Services Available
CICB delivers a comprehensive portfolio of crane-related training services statewide, enabling organizations to work with a single trusted provider for multiple needs.
Crane Operator Training
Crane operator training prepares experienced operators to meet OSHA regulatory requirements and, where applicable, to take CCO certification exams. The instruction addresses load handling, equipment limitations, operational responsibilities, and the regulatory expectations outlined in 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC.
Rigger Training and Qualification
Rigger certification programs in Montana address the critical role riggers play in lifting operations. Training focuses on proper load connection, equipment selection, inspection practices, and communication requirements, supporting employer qualification responsibilities under OSHA regulations.
Crane Inspector Training
Crane inspector training programs develop the knowledge required to evaluate crane condition, identify deficiencies, and document inspections in accordance with applicable OSHA regulations and ASME standards.
Train-the-Trainer Programs
For organizations seeking internal continuity, CICB also offers train-the-trainer qualification programs that enable experienced personnel to train others within their organization, meeting employer-specific qualification requirements.

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."
