Course Information and Booking Dates: Rigging Course sponsored by A.C. Rigging

Our rigging course is tutored by Eric Porter, experienced independent rigger, trainer, adviser and committee member for the PLASA National Rigging Certificate. Anyone attending the course will benefit from his wealth of experience and industry knowledge.

Freelance lighting technician/designer and rigger Dave Hughes signed up to consolidate his skills and knowledge. He comments:“I was amazed with how much we crammed into two days, and I learnt a lot about the engineering and calculation side of rigging, especially about truss from Marc at Prolyte. It was a great revision of skills and Eric shared many tips on achieving an efficient workflow. The area of fall prevention and arrest was particularly interesting and provoked much discussion. Huge thanks to the Backstage Academy - a really good course and a great new facility!”
