Register & Book an Assessment Appointment
REGISTRATION
You must register with the BC Association for Crane Safety (BCACS).
→ www.bcacs.ca | T: 604.525.1227
You will receive a BCACS Registration Number that you will need when you book your appointment for assessment.
ASSESSMENT
Assessment appointments for operators are on a first come, first served basis. This includes:
- Incumbent operators who have received a notification letter from the BCACS.
- Incumbent operators who have not yet received a notification letter.
- New operators registered with the BCACS.
Each assessment is for one crane type only. On the application for assessment, you need to choose which crane you will be assessed on so we can prepare a load chart exercise for this type of crane. If, at the time of assessment, operational requirements mean you must use a different crane, this is alright so long as it is the same classification you want to be certified on.
You will be assessed at the site of your choice on the crane of your choice.
Upon successful completion of all sections of your assessment, you will be issued the CraneSafe Certificate — for the crane type you were assessed on — which will be sent to you by mail.
If you are not found to be competent, you will be given opportunity to re-assess within two months.
RE-ASSESSMENT
If you are found not yet competent you have 60 days to be re-assessed without having to start the assessment process over again.
You do not need to be re-assessed completely; you can be re-assessed in any of these parts:
Part A |
Hand Signals |
Part B |
Load Charts & Rigging |
Part C 1 & 2 |
Pre-Operational and Set-Up & Hazard Assessment |
Part C 3 |
Crane Operation (Target Course – With & Without Load) |
Part C 1, 2 & 3 |
Complete Practical: Pre-Operational, Set Up & Hazard Assessment and Crane Operation |
To apply for re-assessment, download the Application Form for re-assessment.
If you are not re-assessed within 60 days of your initial assessment, you must begin the assessment process again.
ASSESS YOURSELF FIRST
Prepare for your assessment! This website contains all the information you need for a successful assessment. Our goal is to find you competent on the assessment. We want you to be as prepared as possible for the assessment so that your chances of success are greatest.
In our experience the part of the assessment people find most challenging is the load chart and rigging exercise. Use these Learning Guides and Practice Exercises to help you prepare for the assessment.
Learn more about the Practical Skills & Knowledge needed for the hand signals and on-crane section of the assessment.
Please use this information to get yourself ready for a successful assessment.
You may contact us any time to book your assessment.
