Course overview
If a certified Stage 3 offshore crane operators want to maintain OCO Stage 3 certification, they will need to be reassessed every two years by undertaking an approved reassessment program. Reassessment can be undertaken on a simulator or actual crane, or a combination of both. The Stage 3 Offshore Crane Operator Competence Reassessment is intended for offshore crane operators who wish to revalidate their certified Stage 3 Offshore Crane Operator Competence Assessment certificate.
The OCO Stage 3 Competence Assessment is intended for crane operators who wish to become -certified Stage 3 offshore crane operators.
