Get NCCCO certified. Start every Monday.
Mobile, lattice and tower crane operator training, rigger and signal person courses, and on-site NCCCO testing at our yard in Seagoville, Texas. You train and test on the same cranes. We are the only Texas provider on CCO EDU's Accredited Training Provider list (CCO EDU, October 2026).
A crane school run by crane people.
Every instructor here has run cranes for a living, and our team includes an NCCCO practical examiner. You learn on our own cranes and take your practical exam on the same machines, so nothing about test day is new.
3,677 cranes on FAA-filed jobs across nine states.
Texas alone has 976. Crews raising cranes need certified operators, riggers and signal persons.

The instructors, the seat time, the cranes, the trip and the GI Bill, in our students’ own words on Google.
- Instructors★★★★★
“Instructors are patient, going above and beyond, striving to help ME succeed. Don't waste your time anywhere else. I am extremely happy that I chose Miller Crane Works!”
Paul H.Google review - Seat time★★★★★
“This class was great for me because you spend half the day learning the knowledge to safely operate and the other half of the day outside actually getting practice on the cranes.”
Jake T.Google review - Passed first try★★★★★
“I had no experience in the field, I'm just trying to get a better career. Kris and Paul helped me so much, taught me tons. I passed every written and practical that I needed first try.”
Ray M.Google review - Cranes & simulator★★★★★
“They even have something called “the vortex”, which is basically an ultra realistic set up with this huge curved screen… for those who may not exactly be ready to try the real thing out there in the back (they have multiple cranes out there for students).”
Jayson C.Google review - Travel★★★★★
“Not only do they have classes that start every Monday but the instructors are amazing and very knowledgeable! I traveled from Houston to attend this school and would do it again if needed.”
Ravene M.Google review - Partner hotels★★★★★
“They had great equipment to work with and had a few hotels linked with them to give you a small discount while you stay for the classes. (Adds up after a few days)”
JoshGoogle review - GI Bill★★★★★
“I’m a veteran and I used the GI Bill to get certified in everything they had offer. They all were super helpful for the month plus I was there. … Get in, get out and get to work.”
Demaris S.Google review - Rigger to operator★★★★★
“I’ve been rigging for 10 years and decided I was ready to make the switch to the seat. Results don’t lie. After two weeks, Warren and Paul had me squared away and ready for the test and I was able to pass my fixed and swing crane CCO tests.”
JakeGoogle review - Recertification★★★★★
“Recertified in 4 separate certifications, covering six types of hoisting equipment/cranes in one week. Thorough, candidate intensive, helpful... highly recommended..”
