West Coast Offers NEW Crane Course!

Stever Frein, Lead Crane Instructor with West Coast Training, has been working very hard over the past 3 years to develop a new 8 week construction crane course for the students training at WCT. He and his team are now prepared to launch the new course.

For decades WCT has been training Mobile Crane Operators with outstanding results in only four weeks.
Now the 8 week program is the reality that Stever and his team of crane professionals have been striving so diligently to perfect. The skyline on campus is now graced with 3 beautiful Tower Cranes! The NCCCO Rigging and Signaling classroom is fully equipped, and the curriculum is tested and ready.

As we envisioned from the very beginning, the extra 4 weeks of training brings so much more than just tower cranes to the table. As long as we have interest, we expect to continue to offer the 4 week Mobile Crane Course, after all - that is what constitutes the first four weeks of this new course.

A special thank you to the hard working maintenance department who worked tirelessly and brought all the new machines to life and fabricated everything needed to support a very interesting curriculum!
