How to Become Rigger Level 1 in Saudi Arabia
Here is how to become rigger level 1 in Saudi Arabia, step by step. Most riggers take several years to reach this level, because each step needs real lifts behind it.
The exact rules depend on your employer. Saudi Aramco contractors, for example, often ask for Aramco-approved rigger cards.
Rigger Level 1 Course Outline
The rigger level 1 course outline builds on Level 2 and goes deeper into planning and calculation. You spend part of each day on theory and part on practical rigging.
The topics below match what Saudi employers and Aramco-aligned courses expect a Level 1 rigger to know. Every rigger level 1 course in Saudi Arabia should cover them.
Rigger Level 1 Certification: Tests and Validity
To earn rigger level 1 certification, you pass a written test with rigging calculations and a practical test. In the practical, you inspect gear, rig a load, follow a lift plan and give signals while the instructor watches.
When you pass, Future Institute for Advanced Professional Training issues a TVTC-approved certificate and wallet card, valid for 1 Year . Employers can check it online with your certificate number.
Inspection is a big part of the test. US OSHA rules, for example, say slings must be checked each day before use by a competent person; you can read them in the OSHA sling rule.
