The advanced rigging course Brisbane is the highest-level rigging qualification in Australia. Flying foxes, gin poles, high angle rigging systems - the most complex work on Queensland's biggest civil and infrastructure projects. Advanced riggers are among the most valued workers in the industry and the work reflects that in every pay packet.
Shamrock Training runs the advanced rigging course Brisbane from our Northgate training centre, delivered by trainers who have worked at this level on real projects.

Do I need all lower rigging licences before the advanced course?
You need at least an intermediate rigging licence (RI). Contact us to confirm your eligibility based on your licences and experience.
Is the advanced rigging course hard?
Yes. It demands real practical rigging understanding. Our trainers will be honest with you before you enrol about whether your experience level is ready.
What work can I do with an advanced licence that I can't with intermediate?
Advanced adds flying fox systems, gin poles, high angle rigging, and the most complex configurations — all legally outside intermediate scope.
