Digger Derrick Safety Testing

Test Preparation

The °ÍÀè¹ú¼ÊÓéÀÖ³Ç Sentry NCCCO Digger Derrick test program prepares experienced digger derrick operators for the NCCCO written and practical exam tests. It is designed to give operators a better understanding of OSHA regulations, ANSI standards and digger derrick operation to ensure they are fully equipped for test.

The written prep course and test will take approximately 2.5 days. The first two days are for test preparation and the half day will be for taking the test. Immediately following the written test students can take the practical exam.  The practical test depends on the number of students and practice time required. The practical test typically takes 45 minutes to 1 hour per student.
