We’re scheduling spring refreshers for our high‑rise crew and I need CEUs that go beyond basics — unitized picks, vacuum lifter rescue, and mast climber operations. Our last install was a 38‑story unitized job using an MRTA8 with dual tag lines, and the GC now wants third‑party certification within 12 months; any accredited NGA/IUPAT or other courses you’ve taken that truly cover pick plans and rescue procedures?
But > months; any accredited NGA/IUPAT or other courses you’ve taken that truly cover pick plans and rescue procedures? We put our high‑rise crew through IPAF MCWP (ipaf.org) and had the provider bolt on a site‑specific MRTA8 rescue drill plus a dual‑tag pick plan review — counted for CEUs and satisfied the GC’s third‑party box; only caveat is get the GC to confirm they accept IPAF before you book.
@adamK_9032’s IPAF call is solid; we added NCCCO Rigger I/Signalperson (https://www.nccco.org) for the third‑party box, then used NGA’s MyGlassClass unitized modules (https://www.myglassclass.com) to drill pick plans and MRTA8 rescue. Caveat: MyGlassClass gives CEUs but not a formal cert, so we had a WPG rep witness a timed vacuum‑lifter rescue — a fire drill with suction cups — and the GC signed off. Want the contact we used for the WPG ride‑along?
