Today's training organizations and equipment operators are getting real results with simulation-based training. Hear from industry leaders on how they deploy simulators to assess and build real skills in a webinar that takes place Thurs., Dec. 11
at 2 pm EST. 

Jim Headley, CEO of Crane Institute of America, and Steve Fryer, NCSG's Manager of Training, will present how they're using crane simulators for skills training and operator assessment. Learn how these industry leaders applied objective and consistent learning methodologies with simulation-based training. Simulation-training gets proven results - faster time to competency, skilled and safe operators, and more effective assessment. If you are interested in improving your training methodologies and measuring operator skills, then this is a must-attend event.  

Fresh ideas for improving safety, reducing risk, and increasing productivity will be the focus of CRC/ICHC, the premier crane, rigging, and hoist users conference to be held Dec. 3-4 in Houston, Texas.
