RIGGING & LIFTING
SURVIVEX AND AIS TRAINING see uplift in demand for onboard rigging and lifting training
Rigging and Lifting training has always been a core part of Survivex and AIS Training’s centre portfolios but during COVID-19 there has also been a surge in demand for onboard training in these skills. With two state-of-the art rigging and lifting training facilities, a comprehensive offering of accredited and bespoke rigging and lifting courses and more than 75,000 delegates training annually, Survivex and AIS Training offer unrivalled expertise in worldclass, industry-approved training. This experience carries through to an extensive onboard training portfolio and means both companies also have an outstanding reputation for delivering high quality safety training at the worksite. OPITO stage 3&4 Rigger Competence Assessments and stage 3&4 Banksman Slinger Competence Assessments can all be undertaken onsite rather than in a training centre and these courses are delivered frequently by Survivex and AIS Training. As well as accredited training delivered onboard, Survivex and AIS Training’s in-house certificates are a popular option for companies looking for bespoke courses.
