Rope access technician
Training
The training course for rope access technicians is 4 days long. It consists of a short theoretical part, but it is, first and foremost, a practical training. It ends with an examination. The certificate received entitles the trainee to work at height in the whole territory of Poland.
Our instructors have many years of experience both in work at height – some of us started as technicians working at height back in the 1980s – as well as providing training. We are the oldest and most experienced provider on the market. Read more about us here.
The training course for rope access technicians is not only based on our proefessional knowledge and years of experience, but also on the British Standard BS 8454:2006 – Code of practice for the delivery of training and education for work at height and rescue. This is the standard that defines the principles and methods of rope access training. We have not only developed our IRATA training system according to this standard; we also used it as a basis for other training courses we offer.
