Reviewing for the crane side not the heavy side. When wondering which course to do (month 1 or 2) I highly recommend going for month 2. Month 1 will “certify” you on each mobile crane. The first week is definitely the hardest and you’ll feel like giving up. But all of that information is it. Week 2, 3 & 4 are just review. So getting past 1 is the hardest. I believe month 2 is more beneficial to you if you don’t know anything. If you’re already an oiler and don’t want tower crane- stick with just month 1. Month 2 teaches you all about how cranes work in the real world and you practice rigging things up and performing those lifts. I was hating month 1 b/c it was boring and I didn’t feel that I needed 4 weeks to pass. But month 2 made it worth it. Also everyone performs differently so you might need all 4 weeks. I quote “certify” b/c it’s not free chicken. Everything is entirely based on you. The instructors are good people, but we definitely gave them a hard time lol. Anyway- take the 2 month frame course and try your best if you’re considering. It was a good time. Edit: 2 years later I can confidently say this school prepares you the best it can. It took me 6 months to get a crane gig. What state you’re in is very important on right to work states. CDL is absolutely needed (not really) it helps a ton. I operated a tower for 13 months. Have ran an RT an Carrydeck too. I often come back reviewing the material the school gave me to know what’s best. The Manuel truly is your friend. Great school. The money is worth it as you earn it back within the first couple months. Read Less

Attending West Coast Training was the best thing I have EVER done. The experience is incredible. Graduating was bitter sweet because I knew id miss the classmates Id grown to look at as my brothers, and the same goes for ALL the staff. Its like one big family. Also the instructors pay close attention to the areas you need work on the most, and are equal to everybody. ALL of them are more than willing to help with whoever needs it. Now I have a great paying job, with full benefits, and I get to do the thing I love to do most...operate machinery. If you have an opportunity to join the West Coast Training family...DO IT. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I will be forever grateful to this establishment. You will be too. I guarantee it. Read Less
