Training providers play a critical role supporting candidates as they pursue CCO Certification. To recognize this participation across the industry, CCO Certification highlights organizations through its Training Provider Volume Recognition Awards program. Now in its fourth year, the program acknowledges training providers based on candidate testing volume as reported on exam applications. This recognition reflects the number of candidates who identified a training provider while pursuing certification.
The Role Training Providers Play in Industry Readiness
The lifting industry relies on individuals who understand both the technical and safety aspects of lifting operations. Training providers often serve as an entry point for candidates preparing to pursue certification by helping them understand certification pathways, exam requirements, and industry terminology. While CCO is an accredited third-party certification body not involved in training, training organizations support candidates in navigating the process leading up to certification.
Recognition Based on Data
CCO Certification’s Training Provider Volume Recognition Awards recipients are determined by testing volume as reflected on candidate exam applications throughout the year. This data highlights the level of participation training providers have in the industry and their involvement in supporting candidates that are seeking certifications.
Throughout 2026, CCO will recognize Training Provider Volume Award recipients during industry events, including presentations at CONEXPO. These interactions provide an opportunity to acknowledge the organizations helping candidates prepare for certification and to highlight the broader role education plays in advancing industry safety. Congratulations to the training providers recognized by CCO in 2026. Thank you for being difference makers in the industry!
