Rigging Practice Test (NCCCO Rigger)

The Rigging Practice Test (NCCCO Rigger) is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests rigging knowledge for rigger qualification and NCCCO Rigger Level I/II — load weight and centre of gravity, slings, hitches and sling angles, rigging hardware inspection, and crane communication, signals and safe lifting practice — written to ASME B30.9/B30.26, OSHA 1926 Subpart CC and NCCCO rigger content for 2026. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Rigging Knowledge certificate (SOA-RIGG). Every question is based on published standards and research — including ASME B30.9 Slings and B30.26 Rigging Hardware (ASME), NCCCO Rigger Level I and II certification (NCCCO), 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC Cranes and derricks in construction (rigger qualification) (OSHA) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. Science of Apps has a free Rigging Practice Test built on the current NCCCO exam outline for 2026 and 2027. It covers load weights, sling angles, and hitches, scores you instantly and issues a verifiable certificate.

Read the four skill areas on this page, then take the 20-minute test online — no fee, course or sign-up. You see every answer explained when you finish. Score 70% or more and you get a Rigging Knowledge certificate straight away, on screen, as a PDF and by email, with a credential ID anyone can verify.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: ASME B30.9 Slings and B30.26 Rigging Hardware (ASME); NCCCO Rigger Level I and II certification (NCCCO); 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC Cranes and derricks in construction (rigger qualification) (OSHA). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Load Weight and Centre of Gravity (Estimating weight, Centre of gravity and Load control); Slings, Hitches and Sling Angles (Sling types, Hitches and Angle factors); Rigging Hardware and Inspection (Shackles and hooks, Inspection and Below-the-hook devices); Crane Communication and Safe Lifting (Signals, Planning and Site hazards). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Rigger, Crane operator, Signal person, Construction supervisor and Millwright. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show Rigging knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

Someone who, by recognised training, certificate or extensive experience, can successfully solve rigging problems. OSHA requires qualified riggers for assembly/disassembly and for hooking and unhooking in certain lifts.

The smaller the angle between the sling leg and the horizontal, the higher the tension in each leg. At 30° each leg carries double its share of the load, so angles below 30° are generally avoided.

No. It is an independent practice test written to the publicly available Rigging content outline for 2026 and 2027, for checking your readiness before you book the real exam. Passing earns a Science of Apps certificate rather than the official credential.
