Rope Access IRATA

IRATA Rope Access Training

The IRATA rope access course is an internationally recognized training program offered by the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA), teaching safe techniques for working at height using ropes and associated equipment, typically structured in progressive levels (starting with Level 1 for beginners, involving 4–5 days of hands-on training plus assessment) to certify technicians for industries like oil and gas, construction, and maintenance.

Advanced Rigging for IRATA Level 3s

Take your rope access skills to the next level. This advanced rigging course builds on your working-at-height foundations to tackle the complex systems real jobs demand — deviations, re-anchors, tensioned lines, rigging for rescue, and hauling under load. Through hands-on scenarios led by experienced IRATA instructors, you'll learn to plan, build, and load-test rigging systems with confidence, working safely around edges, obstacles and awkward structures. By the end, you'll have the judgement and technical skill to rig efficiently in demanding environments — and the assurance that every system you build is sound. Ideal for experienced technicians ready to progress. Prior rope access certification required.
