The focus of this course will be the overall preparation for ETCP Rigging Exams. we ill also demonstrate Working Load Limits and Breaking Strengths through destructive testing.
The math review of this seminar is designed to break down complex rigging calculations and make them easy to understand. Students will work through the equations that are both common to fundamental rigging practices and more advanced to the engineering aspects of the craft. Along the way, students will learn tips and techniques to remember and execute the formulas with confidence.
