How to Apply for Paper/Pencil Tests
NCCCO accepts candidate applications for paper/pencil test (PPT) administrations via either an online application form or a traditional paper form. The added convenience of submitting applications online is useful to both test site coordinators and individual candidates. This method speeds up the processing of candidate applications and reduces common errors found in the traditional application process. Alternatively, paper application forms may be completed by hand and submitted by mail or fax.
Online applications may be submitted for paper/pencil test administrations for the following CCO certifications:
- Mobile Crane Operator
- Tower Crane Operator
- Overhead Crane Operator
- Articulating Crane Operator
