The Overhead Crane Instructor Package is a complete in-house training solution designed for employers who want to deliver compliant overhead crane training internally, without relying on third-party training providers. This package goes beyond trainer certification by providing the tools, materials, and structure needed to consistently train and evaluate crane operators within your organization.
In addition to the OSHA and ANSI/ASME-aligned Overhead Crane Trainer & Evaluator Online Certification, the package includes ready-to-use instructor presentations, quizzes, certificate templates, and administrative resources that support real-world training delivery and required practical evaluations.
Whether you’re certifying new crane operators, conducting refresher training, or completing required practical evaluations, this package allows employers to manage overhead crane training entirely in-house. Internal trainers and evaluators can deliver classroom instruction, conduct and document practical evaluations, and maintain complete training records while ensuring training aligns with OSHA and ANSI/ASME overhead crane training requirements.
The included Overhead Crane Trainer & Evaluator online program is designed to prepare trainers to deliver consistent, compliant overhead crane training and conduct required workplace-specific practical evaluations in-house. Aligned with OSHA and ANSI/ASME crane safety standards, the course is organized into clear sections that support both classroom instruction and hands-on evaluation of crane operators.
