You book the written exam directly with the certifying organization, not through us. We can walk you through it, but the application and the fees are between you and them.
The order it happens in
- Apply. You choose which exams you are sitting — Core, plus the specialty for the crane you run.
- Sign the policies. The substance abuse policy and the code of ethics are part of the application, not an afterthought.
- Pay the exam fees. These go to the certifying organization. See what certification costs.
- Pick a date and a testing method. This is the part people leave too late.
Do it in this order, not the other one
Book the date before you feel ready, not after. A date on the calendar is the thing that makes study happen, and test centre availability in your area may be thinner than you expect — particularly if you need a specific week.
You are not locked in by studying; you are locked in by the date. Pick one far enough out that you can prepare properly, then work backwards from it.
Tell us when you book
If you let us know your date when you sign up, we will help you get it scheduled and we can point your study at what you have time for. Contact us, or ask from inside any lesson.
Where we fit in. We are an independent training provider. We prepare you for the written examination and can walk you through the application and booking process. We do not write the exams, administer the written or practical exams, or issue certifications, and passing our courses is not certification. See our training and safety disclaimer.
Checked September 2026. Fees and requirements are set by the certifying organization and can change — confirm the current ones with them before you apply.
