Question:

How can i get my crane operator license from a company i quit?

3years after I quit a job,I am once again looking toward the same field it's just that in my old job they helped me get a crane license when I left the job they kept my certification .How can i get that info without asking my old work for it,or would i have to take the course over?

Answer:

Hsquared gives a very blunt, and incorrect answer. Apparently a claimed 30 years in HS has not made her realize that different jurisdictions have different rules? Glad she's not working for me. Where I live a mobile crane operator or tower crane operator must be certified at a minimum every 3 years. The correct answer is to contact the agency which licenses crane operators in your jurisdiction. They should have a copy of your certification.
There is actually no such thing as a crane operators licence - you should tell your new employer that you had undertaken a course in your previous employment and were authorised by them to operate their cranes. The new employer will most likely then send you on another course and issue you with their operators authorisation. The authorisation from your old employer is not transferable to the new one so not having the certificate is not a major problem. It is however good practice for employees to receive a copy of the certificate for their own records.
If it's still valid all you need to do is get a duplicate from the agency that issued it.
contact whatever agency issued the license in the future, remember to keep the original yourself and give the company a copy
