DOGGING & RIGGING COURSES
Get the high-risk work licences needed to sling loads, direct cranes and carry out basic through advanced rigging work.
Do I need a dogman licence before I can do a rigging course in Brisbane?
It depends on your experience and the specific rigging course. Contact us with your background and we'll confirm the right entry point for you.
How long does a dogging and rigging course Brisbane take?
The dogman licence course typically runs one to two days. Rigging courses vary by level - basic rigging is generally two to three days, intermediate and advanced are longer depending on group size and experience. Contact us for exact timeframes.
Are dogging and rigging licences recognised in other states?
Yes. All Queensland-issued dogging and rigging high risk work licences are nationally recognised and valid across every state and territory in Australia.
Can I do my dogman course and basic rigging course together?
Depending on scheduling, some courses can be run back to back. Talk to us about your goals and we'll put together the most efficient training plan.
What is the difference between a dogman and a rigger?
A dogman directs crane operations and attaches loads. A rigger has a broader scope - including rigging of plant, structural steel, and more complex configurations. Many workers hold both. The progression typically goes dogman → basic rigging → intermediate → advanced.
