Training Information

Prerequisite:  NCCCO SIGNALER PERSON CERTIFICATION PREP COURSE & GOVERNMENT ISSUE PHOTO ID

The NCCCO classes/tests must be taken and successfully passed in chronological order, Signal person -> Rigger1 -> Rigger2, by each candidate that is looking to obtain certification.  Attendance will be kept and is mandatory for each certification/training attempt.  Each certification requires both a written and practical examination.  The cost of these examinations will be paid by the EASCTC as long as the candidate successfully completes the training and testing requirements from each prerequisite exam. If a candidate is seeking both Signal Person and Rigger 1 certifications, the EASCTC will pay for the Rigger 1 practical exam, before the results from Signal Person Practical Exam are received.  In the event that a candidate is unsuccessful during an examination attempt, the candidate may retake the exam, but the cost must be covered by the candidate. Each candidate must bring a valid, government issued photo ID to each class.

Course description:

                This 12-hour training course will prepare our members for the NCCCO Rigger 1 Written and Practical Exams.  Attendance at all classes is mandatory, in order to qualify for exam registration.  This course will feature hands-on shop-based instruction, and classroom-based instruction; therefore, work attire must be worn at all times. (long pants, sleeves, work boots, etc.)   Upon passing both exams, the member will be considered an NCCCO Certified Rigger Level 1.  This certification or equivalent is required by the City of Philadelphia in order to engage in rigging activities. Everyone engaged in rigging activities on each job site needs to have a Rigger 1 certification. Whenever possible, this course will be held on 3 weeknights.  You will be assigned a test day in addition to the 12-hour training session.

***Members that have not been through the NCCCO Signal Person Prep course will not be permitted to attend the NCCCO Rig1 Prep Course***
