NCCCO Recertification Candidates:

Effective immediately, the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) has extended the deadlines crane certifications that expire in March, April, May, or June 2020, to July 31, 2020. Please see the text below from NCCCO's Memo:

Effective immediately, certificants will be granted additional time in which to complete recertification requirements. Certificants whose certification expires in March 2020, April 2020, May 2020, or June 2020 may now test for recertification no later than July 31, 2020, and thereby meet recertification requirements. This extended time is automatic; no request needs to be made by the candidate.

In addition, NCCCO will provide a temporary extension of the certification expiration date for certifications expiring in March 2020, April 2020, May 2020, or June 2020. The extension will be valid through July 31, 2020. This extension will be reflected in the Verify CCO Online (VCO) as well as the new myNCCCO mobile app available to certificants. VCO users will see the original expiration date crossed out and the extended expiration date of July 31, 2020, in red along with a note explaining the extension and reason. This extension is automatic; no request needs to be made by the candidate.

WPCA will continue to update membership on emergency regulations and closures that affect the precast manufacturing industry.
