Crane and rigging training provider Industrial Training International (ITI) and commercial contractor Adena have established an ITI training centre in Lakeland, Florida.
The facility began offering classes in October, providing access to crane and rigging training for construction and industrial professionals through a combination of practical instruction and classroom learning. Students will have access to live cranes, experienced instructors and real-world training scenarios with simulated loads to boost competency and confidence for the job site.
“The Lakeland Training Centre will deliver hands-on, industry-validated training programmes that prepare workers for high-demand technical roles, particularly in the crane and rigging field,” said Randy A. Payne, ceo and president, Adena Corporation.
Courses include intermediate rigging; master rigging with qualification; rigging gear inspector; lift director; and critical lift planning.
Andrew Kauser, chief operating office, ITI, said: “Our hands-on, workshop-style classes led by industry experts ensure that crane, rigging and lifting professionals can acquire essential skills in a safe and controlled environment, which is challenging to master in normal working environments.”
Earlier this year, ITI released the third edition of Rigging Engineering Basics, offering updated guidance on lift planning, crane selection, and rigging safety.
