-Kasi Barajas
My husband has seriously been struggling with the Advanced written test for the past year or two, but since he has started with the RWS Crane, my husband was finally able to receive more in-depth training. Especially with the formulas. Side note - I personally loved: the classes were not ridiculously expensive; THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS AMAZING; and mostly how proud my husband is that he finally passed his Advanced CBT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you RWS :)

Frequently Asked Questions About NCCER & NCCCO Certification & Courses
Everything You Need to Know Before You Train or Test at RWS
Q: What's the difference between NCCER and NCCCO certifications?
A: NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research) and NCCCO (National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators) are both nationally recognized certifications. NCCCO is often required specifically for crane operators, while NCCER covers a broader range of crafts like rigging, signal person, and more. We offer prep and testing for both.
Q: When do classes start?
A: Classes start every Monday, and we also offer weekend classes at the end of each month. Be sure to register by the Friday before the class to secure your spot
Q: Do I need to schedule a test ahead of time?
A: For computer-based testing, no appointment is needed — just walk in Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM. For prep classes and practical exams, registration must be completed by the Friday before your desired class start date.
Q:Do you help with hotel accommodations for out-of-town students?
A: Yes — we partner with nearby hotels to offer discounted rates. Call us for the latest deals and assistance booking.
Q: How long does it take to get certified?
A: Most students complete everything — prep, written exam, and practical — in 1 to 4 days, depending on the course. You’ll get your results shortly after completing the testing process.
Whether you’re just starting out or ready to advance your rigging career, RWS offers the training you need to succeed. Our courses are designed to prepare you for certification and the job site.
