Examinations – Level I

After the preparation and training, Crane Tech will facilitate the written and practical exams required for certification. To be CCO certified for a five-year period, candidates must pass the written exam and the practical exam.

The written exam consist of 60 multiple-choice questions and candidates are allowed 60 minutes to complete the test. The practical examination is comprised of four main tasks that increase progressively in the skill level tested. Candidates’ skills are tested in demonstrating pre-use rigging inspection, rigging hitches, rigging connections, and basic knots.

Moving to Rigger II Certification

Rigger Level I graduates are encouraged to “step up” to Rigger Level II when they feel they are ready for the more challenging exams, or they can choose to test for both Rigger Level I and Level II at the same time.  In order to achieve Level II certification the candidate must either pass the Level I exam (if taken at the same time) or already be a Level I certified rigger.

If a certified Level I rigger is in the final year of certification, they may take the Rigger Level II exams in place of the Rigger Level I re-certification exam. In order to achieve full Rigger Level II certification, the candidate must pass the practical exam within 12 months of passing the Rigger Level II written exam.
