About the course

The CS41 Aerial Tree Rigging course prepares candidates for the City & Guilds Level 3 Certificate of Competence in Aerial Tree Rigging (0039-32). The course develops the knowledge and practical skills required to plan and carry out controlled aerial tree rigging operations safely and efficiently. Candidates will learn how to assess the tree and work site, establish appropriate work, drop and exclusion zones, select suitable anchor points and choose compatible rigging equipment for anticipated loads. Training covers the selection and use of rigging ropes, blocks, slings, strops, connectors, lowering devices and friction systems. Candidates will develop an understanding of load calculations, peak forces, shock loading and methods of introducing and controlling friction within a rigging system. Practical training includes the controlled removal and lowering of tree sections using a range of techniques including tip tying, butt tying, balancing/cradling and vertical lowering, together with an understanding of snatching, speed lining and lifting techniques. Candidates will also practise appropriate rigging knots, work positioning, communication between climber and ground staff, and the selection and execution of suitable cuts. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on planning, equipment selection, safe working positions, effective communication and maintaining control of tree sections throughout the rigging operation.
