You have always been good with your hands and love design and construction. You are not keen to tackle small stuff anymore; skyscrapers are your ultimate goal. You are ambitious and confident enough to drive the crane; but first you will be required to get the NCCCO Rigging certification.

Once you have acquired enough skill, you would like to apply to be in Crane Management. You shall be the best qualified at your job and ensure all work is done on site, safely and accurately. This is an incredible goal with such great potential.

The proper training is mandatory. There are various institutions that offer crane courses. You may be lucky and your employer may offer to support you, and pay for the training as it is very expensive. There is plenty of information on the internet to aid you.

You will need to ensure you choose the correct course for you, as you can do some courses online and at your own pace, this may be an option if you are already using a crane and would just like to get certified. It may be better to do a course where you get physical experience if you have not had much physical time driving a crane, as the equipment is not something you can take lightly.

One of the major functions of the Crane Manager would be protection and safety on the job. This is one of the numerous duties that come along with the title. Every country has its own set of laws and policies which building contractors have to comply with on site. This by no means includes all the rules that the real building will need to fully obey. The course you select will have to offer you a great foundation on all the topics you need.

You will have to learn all about the various types of cranes that can be procured, as all cranes have such versatile capabilities. The courses offered have prerequisites; only over 18 can attend and you are required to pass two exams, a written and practical. Most courses are done in two levels. Each covers several themes; from examining the crane before use, to hazardous scenarios, to load balancing and hoisting. Knotting, tag lines and sling knowledge is a must, being a boy scout will help.

This can be a very exciting job, to have such power in your hands. Though please bear in mind this is a very serious job and it does come with a certain about of risk. If you are not confident this is the job for you or uneasy with the use of the equipment or the theory behind how to move the loads safely, please reconsider you choice of career.

It is suggested that you spend more time on construction sites to get the relevant info, before you undertake to get your rigging certification. It can be a rewarding career, only if that is the correct path and option for you. Best wishes to you.
