FAQs - Intermediate Rigging Course Brisbane
Do I need to complete my basic rigging course before doing intermediate?
Yes. The intermediate course builds directly on the basic rigging scope and is designed for workers who already hold an RB licence with practical experience.
What is the difference between basic and intermediate rigging?
Basic covers plant, equipment, and structural steel. Intermediate adds mast climbing work platforms, hoists, and more complex configurations.
How much more do intermediate riggers earn compared to basic?
Intermediate rigging qualifications open access to more complex projects which typically means higher site rates. The specific difference depends on employer and project type.
Is the intermediate rigging licence nationally recognised?
Yes. Queensland-issued rigging HRWLs are nationally recognised across all Australian states and territories.
