Apprentices attend classes one Friday a month in Denver. At the conclusion of their apprenticeship, the apprentices will have completed 475 hours of classroom and lab study and 6000 hours of on the job learning. The apprentices will receive Journeyman Ironworker certificates from NCCER and the DOL/BAT after the successful completion of the program.
Crane Operator
Trivent Safety Consulting is an accredited NCCER Crane Operator certifications provider. Operators who would like to obtain their crane operator certifications can attend a three-day preparatory class for the written exam. Once the written exam has been successfully completed, a Trivent examiner will proctor the practical exam to the crane operator onsite. Same day written & practical test results and the ability to test operators on the cranes that they are familiar with, are some benefits that make Trivent’s Crane Operator Certification program exceptional.
All Trivent classes have been designed by a CPTD (Certified Professional in Talent & Development). Their goal is to engage the learner continually throughout their education so that the highest level of knowledge transfer can occur. The hope is that every tradesperson that attends a Trivent class rediscovers a love for learning. http://triventsc.com
