Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I have posted on here...
For the haunts that use aerial or fly rigging stunts, what procedures or guidelines do you follow? What training do you require? What are your standards for inspections? Where do you get your training? What are your resources?
I am starting to look into this field of theatrical tech and I am aware that there is no government agency that oversees any sort of licensing for this field. It appears that the ETCP (Entertainment Tech Cert Program) is the most "official" certification out there, but you can also get certification from places like RigStar. ETCP certification can only come by work experience, which is near impossible for me while holding a full-time non-rigging job elsewhere. RigStar certification only requires 60 hours in MA for both classroom and hands-on training. Are there other companies out there for that type of training? Is RigStar training adequate? Or do you just rely on websites and common sense?
Any advice, help, links, etc for what you guys do would be appreciated!
Thanks!
