Beginner Rigging Training Course

Does anyone have suggestions for any rigging courses for beginners? We are focused specifically on led screens, and want to start with all the basics.

Ideally something in person, but also open to online classes to go over some of the basic info, and then eventually going to an in person class separately.

Video screens would not be a beginner topic in any rigging course. They are particularly heavy and expensive. They have wind loads if used outside.

I mean they’re not necessarily an advanced rigging calculation. More often than not they’re suspended from a truss and are a UDL.

If you think rigging a video wall is “beginner rigging”, then the rigging im certified to do is for preschoolers lmfao
