The Journeyman Rigger class was awesome. One of the best classes I have ever attended. Jim Cox was very knowledgeable. He kept my interest during the whole class. Classroom + Hands-on rigging = great training.

Great class! I really needed to learn more about the math and formulas involved [in rigging applications]. By far this is the best rigging and crane class I've ever taken. Lot's of useful information.

Jim is one of the best instructors I have met. His level of knowledge is superior. He kept the entire class engaged and awake while putting out a lot of info.

Jim was very knowledgeable and really made the course fun. I looked forward to returning everyday because I knew I would learn more each day.

I think this mobile crane operator training course is the most needed. I'm very glad to have gone through it. Bob did very well. I'm leaving this class with much improved load chart confidence. Thank you for that!

Very good course, I highly recommend it. I learned so much that I thought I already knew.

I wanted to take a minute to acknowledge the great job Russ did at out training class last week.
He is a great instructor; he knows how to present the material to linemen in a practical manner. It was one of the best training classes I have been to.
Please make sure this gets to his manager so Russ can get the credit he deserves.

NEW CRANE RULES- How are we going to get our employees trained? What are in the crane standards? Certified Training for crane operators, certified riggers and signalmen, a lot of training and a lot of training companies out there….. but who is good and how is the small company going to afford the training?
People have been asking me for my two cents; and here it is. Do you want training or just a certificate. I have attended several Rigging Training Courses and Mobile Crane Inspection Training courses over the last 25 years, most of them average at best. Along comes Mike Parnell and Woodland, Washington; Industrial Training International….. BINGO.
Real classroom training and real hands-on training. I have attend three rigging workshops out west and have had Mike and his company do training for CERTEX and Certex Customers in Birmingham, Decatur, Mobile and Atlanta.
There are many trainers and companies conducting crane and rigging training and they issue a nice, printed certificate. Mike Parnell's trainers spend 40-50-60% on hands on training…HANDS ON TRAINING. People tell me, "You are the best when it come to rigging." I might be a good Toast Master, a good for a speech at a Safety Conference, but the best Crane & Rigging Trainer is Mike Parnell and his crane & rigging team.

I was very impressed with ITI’s facility and course materials. The problem solving portion of the ‘Advanced Rigger Certification’ material is some of the best I have seen. The facility has almost every technology you can imagine available for use and training. The practical problem solving exercises are very educational and well thought out.
I can easily recommend a continuing relationship with ITI for our crane and rigging training.

As the media reminds us of the high rates of accidents occurring to operators and riggers, we at Cianbro Companies strive to provide our employees with the skills and knowledge of how to prevent an accident. In the past our company has received Master Rigging Training from Industrial Training International. They offer a hands-on approach by providing rigging gear inspection, proper rigging procedures and load control using almost any vertical or horizontal rigging system. The classroom teaching techniques and hands-on learning exercises that we have received from the Industrial Training International group has guided our company in creating our own successful in house rigging training program. The Industrial Training International crew and facilities are truly a world class group, solely dedicated to educating and improving the crane and rigging world.
