The Crane School has been preparing students for heavy equipment operating certifications for more than 12 years. The key to our longtime success is our communication and teaching style. Learning how to operate a crane is not something that can be done just by reading a book. Instructor Bud Wilson has been a crane operator for many years and can communicate to his students using terminology that they can understand in ways that make learning much easier. Bud Wilson talks to students as a crane operator because our students are just that; crane operators. Highlights include :
· 35 years as a crane operator with an accident free work history
· Trained and certified (hands on and classroom) Operators for companies such as Duke Power, Mobile Oil, Martin Marietta and Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, Halliburton, SDGVE, Sempra Utilities, Boeing, Hawaiin Electric, Amron International
· Taught Crane Safety programs for OSHA Compliance Officers, Engineers, Management Personnel
· Possess extensive knowledge of OSHA & ANSI/ASME regulations governing lift equipment
