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 attach 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. These practice tests help our instructors see which study topics need extra attention. These tests then serve as the ultimate guides to ace the exam.
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.

Our employees leave the class with a better understanding of crane operation, their capabilities, and job safety.”
This class was one of the best I have ever coordinated for our employees! Jason was, by far, the best instructor I have ever seen present an extremely technical course. His personality was perfect for the audience and made him very relatable. His technical proficiency was exemplary! He is completely capable of and, for the most part, did teach the entire class without referring to the slides or reference material. He also went way above and beyond in his commitment to ensuring the students not only learned but retained the material and stayed late into each evening to assist those requiring additional assistance. The employees could not say enough great things about Jason's skills and commitment to learning. We now have 10 employees trained to operate our cranes and, even though the majority of them do not work together, a group of employees that overcame some adversity and became a cohesive team. They are begging me to bring the CICB back!”
The Instructor Larry Kime is absolutely one of the best instructors I have ever had, and I have a degree in mechanical engineering. Larry’s knowledge both written and practical is current and accessible. I would recommend Larry to a new beginner or someone that has been in the lifting industry their whole career
