How This Differs From Rigger Level II Qualification
Pick this one if the goal is passing an accredited Level II rigging exam and holding a credential issued by the certifying body. Companies that just need to record advanced rigging training for their own qualified-rigger designation can use the Rigger Level II qualification course.
Level II Modules
The modules assume Level I knowledge and build toward planning and leading lifts.
Advanced load calculations
Estimating weight, locating center of gravity and working out each sling's share of the load.
Complex lift rigging
Drifting, turning and upending loads without losing control.
Rigging plan development
Documenting gear, angles, capacities and contingencies before the lift.
Advanced hardware selection
Spreader and lifting beams, equalizing systems and specialized devices.
Supervision and communication
Leading rigging crews and coordinating with the crane operator.
Exam preparation
Review for the Level II written and practical exams.
Who Moves Up to Level II
- Experienced Level I riggers
- Rigging foremen
- Lift planners
- Millwrights on complex installs
Certification comes from the exams
This course gives you a certificate of completion. Level II certification is awarded by NCCCO or NCCER after you pass the written and practical tests. Our NCCCO Level II overview covers the requirements.
