ITI RIGGING COURSES

IntroductionThe Master Rigger Course is generally recognized as the premier rigging training option in the industry, with over 30 years of customer demand to back the claim. The Master Rigger course has served those who have sought the “next level” of information and technical knowledge when it comes to rigging and load handling operations. The course exposes participants to a variety of equipment and applications which include multiple crane lifts, load turning with chain hoists, jacking and rolling using mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, incline planes and managing the center-of-gravity in all three axis.

Master Rigger follows a “learn it, see it, do it” format. Learning objectives are introduced and expanded upon during interactive classroom sessions (learn it). Students work in small groups in the training center, or yard at client locations, where instruction continues amongst the equipment and tools that will be used to conduct various load handling workshops (see it). Finally, under the guidance of highly experienced and highly skilled instructors, students will complete learning objectives with live loads (do it).

Purpose & ScopeMaster Rigger ultimately aims to enhance the participant’s knowledge base and increase skill levels by utilizing a variety of sophisticated rigging equipment to solve challenging load handling tasks. The scope of the course is refined to classroom interactive problem solving assignments and hands-on team projects that best deliver the most thorough understanding of advanced rigging principles and applications in the shortest amount of time.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES

Course ScheduleOpen enrollment Master Rigger courses at ITI Training Centers follow the following schedule:

• Days 1-4 Master Rigger Course

• Day 5 Rigger and Signalperson Qualification Exams (Optional)

Written and practical exams are administered by qualified ITI Examiners. Candidates who successfully pass the exams will receive a 5-year ITI Qualification. The qualifications meet the requirements of OSHA for both riggers and signalpersons. Rigger and signalperson qualification is optional, and the exams do carry a separate fee.

Rigger and signalperson qualification can be administered at client locations as well, and do not require the Master Rigger course as a prerequisite.
