Abseilon offers Rope Access Training in accordance with SPRAT Level I, II and III principles and guidelines, up to and including evaluation, either on site or at your location upon request. We have a strong pool of SPRAT Level III Technicians who instruct our Rope Access Training Courses; you can read more about our lead instructor Mike, or about the rest of our team. Abseilon’s Rope Access Training Courses are designed around a concept of world class safety and a career-long commitment to excellence. The courses are a combination of theory and practical work and exercises over a four day period, followed by a fifth day of evaluation.
WHAT DO I NEED BEFORE I CAN TAKE THE COURSE?
There are no formal requirements for the entry level Rope Access Training Course (Level I), however we do recommend those who are considering taking the course to visit a physician to receive a physical to ensure they are healthy and able to perform rope access work.
We do not require any student to supply their own equipment to participate in the course, and can supply a full kit set up for the five day duration. We do not allow these kits to leave the premises. The kit supplied during the course will be available for purchase upon course completion, however students are not required to purchase their equipment.
WHAT WILL I LEARN IN THE COURSE?
Students who take our Rope Access Training Courses will learn:
- SPRAT requirements and safe practices
- Equipment use and selection
- Level specific knot tying and uses
- Level specific rope maneuvers
- Level specific rigging
- Mechanical advantage
- Level specific rescues
- Self rescue
- OSHA standards
- ANSI standards
- And more!
WHAT ELSE IS INCLUDED IN THE COURSE?
Our Rope Access Training Courses are all five days long; four, ten hour days of theory and practical education, followed by a fifth day of third party SPRAT Evaluation to take place on site.
Each student receives:
- One KASK Zenith X White Helmet
- One printed copy each of SPRAT Safe Practices and SPRAT Certification Requirements
- SPRAT Certification, card and log book upon successful passing of evaluation
WHAT’S THE EVALUATION LIKE?
The evaluation process normally takes between eight and ten hours, and all students are tested simultaneously. The evaluation begins with a 40 question written exam, followed by practical skill set evaluation. After passing the SPRAT evaluation, we will send your documentation to SPRAT for you, and they will mail you a logbook for your hours with your SPRAT Certification card and number.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T PASS THE EVALUATION?
Don’t panic! If a student does not initially pass the evaluation, s/he still has options. If a candidate does not score at least an 80% on the written exam, s/he waits seven days and can re-take the exam with a proctor. If a student exceeds three discrepancies during the practical portion of the evaluation, s/he has three months to re-evaluate.
WHAT IS THE TUITION FOR THE TRAINING COURSE?
Our Rope Access Training Course is $1,695.
WHEN CAN I TAKE THE COURSE?
