Basic Entertainment Rigging Training

Our online courses are designed to provide participants with the ground-rigging basic knowledge of inspecting rigging gear, load control, rigging procedures, and techniques used in the entertainment industry through lessons, problem-solving workshops, and videos.

If it’s not on the ground then more than likely you will need rigging. Suspending speakers, truss, lighting, video, and scenic equipment in the air is serious business and safety should always be the first order of business.

Arena rigging, theatrical rigging, and tour production rigging require a large playbook of experience to keep things safe and on time. Whether your application is permanent or touring, attention to detail, the proper methods or principles, and first-rate quality equipment are required to ensure all equipment is flown, attached, or suspended correctly.

We offer two modules online. Both modules meet the ESTA Entertainment Technician Certification Program (ETCP) for 3 continuing education units each.
