CICB Receives Top Trainer Award for 5th Time

Top Trainer 2014, endorsed by Crane & Rigging Hotline magazine and the Association of Crane & Rigging Professionals (ACRP), has named Crane Inspection & Certification Bureau’s (CICB) senior instructor/inspector, Scott Crowder, a Professional Top Trainer. This is the fifth time an instructor from CICB has been named a Top Trainer.
Each year, trainers in the crane and rigging field are recognized for having a positive impact on students, the work environment, or the industry by the publisher of Crane & Rigging Hotline magazine and ACRP. CICB trainers have received one of the prestigious awards in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, and now once again in 2014.
The purpose of the Top Trainer awards is to bring attention to the importance of quality training of crane operators and riggers in order to prevent crane related accidents. The top trainers are recognized for their excellent training techniques, positive impact on their students, and their measurable success rate. Nominations are submitted for the trainers by their peers and co-workers along with satisfied students.
