Course Overview

What is this course

Complex lifting operations require advanced technical knowledge, careful planning, and the ability to make informed decisions in dynamic working environments. The ProQual Accredited Advanced Rigger Certificate is designed for learners who want to expand their rigging expertise and develop the advanced skills needed to carry out challenging lifting operations safely, efficiently, and with confidence.

This high-quality, non-regulated CPD programme builds on the core principles of rigging by introducing more advanced concepts used in complex lifting and load-handling activities. Learners explore topics such as advanced rigging techniques, lift planning, load calculations, centre of gravity determination, selection and inspection of specialised lifting equipment, multi-leg sling configurations, heavy and irregular load handling, communication and coordination during lifting operations, hazard identification, risk assessment, and emergency response procedures. The course also examines the importance of teamwork, operational planning, and safe decision-making in high-risk lifting environments.

Through practical examples, industry-based case studies, and realistic workplace scenarios, learners gain the confidence to manage more demanding rigging tasks while applying recognised safety principles and best practices. The programme also strengthens problem-solving, leadership, and technical decision-making skills, enabling learners to contribute effectively to safe and efficient lifting operations.

Ideal for experienced riggers, lifting personnel, construction professionals, offshore workers, engineering technicians, maintenance teams, crane crews, and individuals involved in complex lifting activities, this internationally delivered CPD programme supports professional skills development and workforce upskilling. The programme is externally accredited by ProQual for quality and consistency and is recognised by employers and industry bodies for professional development purposes, helping learners enhance their advanced rigging competence and support safer lifting operations across a wide range of industries.
