Class 1 concrete pumps have boom lengths of 28 meters to 36 meters; Class 2 concrete pumps have boom lengths of 37 meters to 49 meters. Testing on either class pump results in the same CCO Concrete Pump Operator (CPO) certification designation, but candidates will need to specify which class of pump they will test on when they apply for their practical exams. They will also need to coordinate with the Test Site Coordinator to find out which type(s) of pumps will be available at the test site. If approved by the Test Site Coordinator, candidates may also bring their own concrete pumps to the test site so that they can use a machine with which they are already familiar.<\/p>\n<p>CCO CPO certification remains valid for five years. Effective July 15, candidates will need to take both the written and practical CPO exams to earn certification.
