Bill Sapsis, ETCP Arena - Rigging SME chair says, "Congratulations to ETCP on certifying its 1000th arena rigger. Not only does this mean that all of our hard work writing the exam is being put to good use, but also having that many qualified riggers in the work force means the industry is that much safer. Now we can start working on reaching the 2,000 mark."
"One thousand ETCP Certified Arena Riggers is an amazing number. However, equally as amazing but impossible to quantify is the great degree to which our industry has been made safer and more efficient. Congratulations to all certificants and everyone who participates in creating and operating the program!" says Jules Lauve, president of ESTA.
