Riggers License in NSW

Where can one find information about obtaining a riggers license in NSW.

I've been having a look around and can't seem to be any information about it.

Can anyone here help me out?

Chris,

Do you really need one?

If so, Showtech Australia are the guys to speak with. Tiny will come out to your state and conduct a course for 10 or so people, or you can go to Melbourne and do it.





Failing this, the builders union should be able to advise you of riggers courses in NSW: while being aimed more towards scaffolding and construction (obviously), this is recognised (legally) for TDs.



Out of interest, I found a site from one of the riggers at the Sydney Olympics, with photos of rehearsals and 210ft high rig points(!)


Alan! freshly back from touring (in nsw...)

Ring Petersham TAFE in Sydney. They run the rigging course.

Hi Christopher,
Yes its true, Showtech do run rigging courses, We have just started our first federal courses for the year and are pretty much fully booked. Our courses are bound by the federal guidelines, however it is entertainment based. Yes you still need to work with a crane, but many other aspects are covered by equipment we use on a daily basis in our industry.
The courses are conducted at Showtech, however if you can get together with 10 people, Tiny can conduct these courses interstate.
If we can be of any further help please let us know
