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."

Frequently Asked Questions
How frequently is NCCCO recertification required for crane operators?
NCCCO certifications are valid for five years. Before their current certification expires, operators must go through recertification, which entails a repeat written test and ongoing proof of practical skill.
Which compliance documents are available from CICB?
CICB equips you with all the documentation necessary for regulatory compliance. After qualification training, you will receive a certificate, performance evaluation forms and a competency record. Attendance documentation and readiness assessments are provided for those in NCCCO prep classes.
If an operator does not pass the NCCCO test, what happens next?
Failing the exam means the operator can take it again after more preparation. The CICB team will diagnose problem areas and deliver focused training in those topics. As a result, nearly all CICB-trained operators go on to pass their certification exams.
