Advanced Rigger Training

Rigger Level II Qualification

When lifts get heavier, odd-shaped or multi-point, employers need riggers who can plan rather than just hook up. This Rigger Level II qualification training documents advanced rigging instruction for experienced crew members, online and at their own pace.

How This Differs From Rigger Level II Certification

Here the employer stays in charge: the course supplies documented advanced rigging training that supports the company deciding who is qualified. No third-party certificate is issued. For exam preparation toward an accredited Level II credential, see the Rigger Level II certification course.

Advanced Topics Covered

  1. Advanced load calculations

    Weight estimates, center-of-gravity location and dividing the load among slings.

  2. Complex lift rigging

    Safe techniques for drifting a load sideways, rotating it and standing it upright.

  3. Rigging plan development

    Putting gear lists, angles, ratings and backup plans on paper.

  4. Advanced hardware selection

    When to use spreader bars, equalizer beams and specialty devices.

  5. Supervision and communication

    Running a rigging crew and staying in step with the operator.

  6. Closing review

    Consolidating Level II knowledge with a final check of understanding.

Typical Trainees

  • Lead riggers
  • Plant maintenance supervisors
  • Heavy-haul and setting crews
  • Shutdown and turnaround teams

What this course documents

Completion produces a certificate for your training file, supporting your own qualified-rigger determination. It is not an accredited certification. If a client requires a Level II card, consider the certification prep course.

Outcomes for Your Crew

  • Plan multi-point lifts on paper first

  • Work out share-of-load for each leg

  • Select below-the-hook devices correctly

  • Coordinate clearly with the crane operator

Before You Enroll

Who decides whether someone is qualified?

The employer. Training like this supports that decision, alongside on-the-job evaluation of the person's rigging ability.

Can we combine it with Level I?

Yes. Many companies enroll newer workers in Rigger Level I Qualification and leads in Level II.

Is on-site training available?

Yes. Contact us about group setup or on-site delivery for your crew.

How is the course delivered?

Online, self-paced, on any device, ending with a quiz and certificate of completion.

Train the Riggers Who Plan the Lift

Enroll your lead riggers now, or contact us to set up a group. Leads who plan on paper first tend to run calmer, more predictable lifts.
