Program Overview:

1. The NCCCO Telecommunications Tower Rigger Level I certification (TTR-I) was developed specifically for riggers in the wireless telecommunications industry. Tower Riggers are identified by their unique knowledge of communication structures (e.g., self-support towers, guy towers, monopoles, etc.)
2. To achieve certification, candidates must pass the Telecommunications Tower Rigger Level I written exam as well as the standard CCO Rigger Level I practical exam. The written exam contains content related to ANSI/ASSP A10.48, various types of rigging equipment, and activities associated with the telecommunications industry.

Certified Telecommunication Tower Rigger Level-I:

A certified Telecommunications Tower Rigger Level I can perform simple, repetitive rigging tasks when the load weight, center of gravity, the rigging, and rigging configuration are provided or known through experience, while under direct supervision of a Competent Rigger per ANSI/ASSP A10.48.
