Rigging Licence

A License to Perform Rigging (Basic Level) authorises individuals to carry out basic rigging tasks, such as inspecting lifting gear, selecting appropriate equipment, and ensuring the safe movement of loads. This license is vital in industries where heavy lifting and rigging operations are common, ensuring that tasks are conducted safely and efficiently.

Possible Roles

Rigger: As a licensed rigger, you'll be responsible for setting up and supervising the lifting of heavy loads using cranes and other lifting equipment. This involves selecting the right equipment, attaching loads securely, and ensuring safety protocols are followed.

Entertainment Industry Rigger: In the entertainment industry, you could work as a rigger for stage setups, lighting, sound equipment, and other production elements. Your role will be crucial in creating safe and visually impressive setups for concerts, events, and shows.

Mining and Resources Rigger: Within mining and resource industries, riggers are responsible for positioning and moving heavy machinery, equipment, and materials at mine sites and extraction facilities.

Construction Site Rigger: Working on construction sites, you'll collaborate with other construction professionals to move and position heavy materials and equipment. Your rigging skills will contribute to the efficient progress of projects.

Marine Rigger: Marine riggers specialise in lifting and moving heavy loads on ships and offshore platforms. They play a critical role in loading and unloading cargo, as well as securing equipment on vessels.

Film and TV Production Rigger: Similar to the entertainment industry, you could work on film and television productions, ensuring that camera equipment, lighting rigs, and other setups are safely rigged and positioned for shooting.

Potential wages could be in the region of $75,000 to $90,000 per year

Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better.
Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better. Smaller classes better and more knowledgeable teachers who care about the students and more flexible learning (being able to do most of the work from home). TAFE felt like it was just there to keep apprentices there for as long as possible (spending 8 hours to do 2 hours of work) but here it’s all based around the student, come in for the morning to to finish up units then go back to work for the rest of the day.

Would definitely recommend to others
The staff were very friendly, trainer Carl made it very easy to learn what was needed and helped when I was struggling. Crane operator pat was very kind and made it easy to do the lifts. Amazing operator. Would definitely recommend to others and will be coming back to learn other skills. 👍

I recently completed my Certificate III (online) through Major Training Group, and I had a wonderful experience.

My educator, Cathy Fendley, was absolutely fabulous. We had agreed-upon sessions once a week (and sometimes twice a week when needed), and she was always supportive, organised, and encouraging. Cathy helped me tremendously, especially with my case studies, making sure I fully understood the requirements and felt confident in my work.

She also went above and beyond by helping me find a placement closer to my location, which made a big difference for me. During my placement, she visited and gave me such a great morale boost — her support truly meant a lot.

I’m very grateful to have had Cathy as my teacher. She is a wonderful educator and a genuinely caring person. Highly recommend Major Training Group!

I had a fantastic experience with Major Training. Katrina was my trainer for both my EWP and Forklift courses, and she was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. She explains everything clearly and makes sure everyone feels confident and safe.
I also want to mention Thane. Even though he wasn’t my trainer, he was very friendly and always willing to help.
Great team, professional training, and a very welcoming environment. Highly recommended definitely more than 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highly recommend this RTO! The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to help whenever you need support. They genuinely care about your learning and make sure you understand the material, not just pass the course.

They also create a great environment with things like regular BBQs, which makes it a welcoming and supportive place to study. It’s clear they put real effort into looking after their students and building a strong community.

If you’re considering training here, you won’t regret it.

Highly recommend Major training. I cannot express how much it was a pleasure to be educated and trained by my highly experienced assessor CARL BERRY for helping me complete my C6 Crane ticket. It's alot of theory work and alot of maths and also practical about the Crane as I've had no experience. Carl Berry gave not just me but the other pupils in the classroom the time and the patience to help us to complete and accomplish this course. I'm not gonna lie it is very hard but with the right training studying and perseverance it was all well worth it. Thank you so much Carl for all your hard work and keep it mate. I really do appreciate what you have done for me. And last but not least thank you Major training for having me as a student at your facility.

I can't recommend Paul from Major Training highly enough! He was an incredible instructor who supported me every step of the way in obtaining my HR licence. After failing my first test due to nerves, I was feeling pretty discouraged. However, Paul’s patience, understanding, and encouragement made all the difference.

He took the time to go over everything thoroughly, helping me rebuild my confidence and fine-tune my skills. His calm demeanor helped ease my anxiety. Thanks to Paul’s support, I was able to pass my test.

Thank you Paul, I appreciate the help to better my life!
