The National Commission for
the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO)
has been structured to allow fair representation
from all industries that use cranes. This is
reflected at all three major levels of the organization
including: the Board of Directors, Commissioners,
and Committees.
Board of Directors
Board members serve a three-year term. Officers
are elected annually. The Board establishes
policy and sets strategic goals.

Committees
NCCCO develops and maintains its certification programs through a series of committees that report to the Board of Directors. A total of four (4) Exam Management Committees are responsible for monitoring and participating in the development of crane operator certification examinations for mobile, tower and overhead cranes. Members of these committees suggest revisions to NCCCO's testing procedures; work with and monitor the administration of the exams; oversee the work of item writers; monitor and oversee testing companies which may be contracted with for exam development and/or administration; and collect data necessary for psychometrically sound examinations.
Two additional committees that play an important role in the review, discipline and appeals process are: the Ethics and Discipline Committee, which is responsible for establishing standards of conduct, such as ethical standards, policies and procedures for disciplinary action and implementing those standards, policies and procedures, and the Appeals Committee which is responsible for establishing policies and procedures for hearing appeals of decisions, and for hearing such appeals.
