CPC30720 - Certificate III in Rigging

Training Prerequisites
The CPC30720 Certificate III in Rigging is a trade qualification suitable for those working in the area of rigging and dogging in the building and construction industry. These are workers who are carrying out basic and intermediate rigging, structural steel erection and erecting scaffolding.
