What Clients Are Saying

I've attended many different classes at the Crane Institute facility in Sanford Fl. I've also attended classes that the people of Crane Institute conducted at our companies sites. In all the classes I've attended, I've found the instructors to be extremely knowledgeable and effective in facilitating the training programs. I'm a mobile equipment operator trainer by occupation myself and can truthfully say I've seen no more effective method of training that the folks at CIA use. The programs are very interesting as well as very challenging. The folks at CIA also people of the highest integrity. Anyone needing training on any type of crane, aerial lifts, forklifts or rigging/signal persons should check out CIA. In my opinion, there is no one better in the industry.

Great resource for training.
