CCO Rigger Level I and II Certification

Riggers play an essential role in lifting operations. They use the proper slings, shackles, and additional rigging hardware to connect loads to a crane's hook safely. You can find riggers anywhere lifting takes place, from recovering a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to suspending an Air Force jet engine for maintenance.

Companies that value well-trained rigging professionals on their teams have relied on CICB's industry-leading training for over half a century.

CCO Rigger I and II

This CCO preparatory training program prepares new and experienced riggers to pass the CCO Rigger I and II Written and Practical Exams. The benefit of attaining both is that riggers can work on various rigging tasks without supervision. 

To get your team to certification efficiently, we offer individual and combination courses, depending on existing experience and certification. Students benefit from taking CICB's practice tests during the training, which helps instructors identify study topics that need extra attention.

Here is some of the information your riggers will need to know to pass their exams:

• Rigger Level I: To earn Level I certification, riggers must understand how to inspect rigging before use, recognize associated hazards, and have basic knowledge of hitch configurations, capacities, and basic knots. 
• Rigger Level II: Along with knowing everything a Level I Rigger must know, Level II Riggers must be able to estimate the weight and the center of gravity, determine and select appropriate rigging for a load, understand load dynamics, and identify lift points.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to common questions CICB receives about rigger certifications.

Which rigger certification course is best for the construction industry?

The best rigger certification course for the construction industry is a CCO Rigger Level II certification or a combined Level I and II certification. These courses equip riggers with the skills to plan for load weight, center of gravity, and potential load dynamics.

Why is combined rigger Level 1 and 2 training so valuable?

Combined rigger training provides professionals with valuable skills. While a Level I rigger is qualified for basic tasks, they often require supervision. A Level II rigger can plan complex lifts, manage the center of gravity, and work independently. CICB's combined rigger certification program supports a more versatile team member who can lead rigging operations, not just assist them.

Who are the best rigger training companies?

The best rigger training companies are defined by their experience, instructor quality, and verifiable industry recognition. CICB has been a training leader since 1969. Our instructors are subject matter experts with extensive real-world field experience. Construction Today named CICB the #1 choice for rigger training.

Are there nationally accredited rigger training companies?

Yes. CCO programs are accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), the gold standard for meeting federal OSHA requirements. CICB specializes in preparing your team to pass these nationally accredited CCO certification exams, training your riggers to the highest industry standard.

How does CICB prepare teams to pass the CCO exams?

CICB prepares you to pass CCO exams with practice tests that closely model the official CCO written and practical exams. This process allows instructors to identify areas needing extra attention and tailor the curriculum to help teams prepare for certification exams.
