Basic Entertainment Rigging Training

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.

Our Basic Entertainment Rigging training consists of two modules. You don’t have to enroll in both modules at the same time. Take Module 1 and then, when you’re ready, take Module 2.

• Module 1 – covers the essentials of basic rigging including slings, hooks, shackles and other rigging hardware
• Module 2 covers calculation of sling angles and tensions, center of gravity, practical exercises, and entertainment rigging devices
