IN MARCH OF 2017, Abseilon began holding courses in the Workforce Development Center at the Houston Area Safety Council. This 17,000 square foot facility is fully air conditioned, and equipped for all levels of SPRAT Rope Access Training, with separate classrooms for theory discussion and textbook study.
We offer courses monthly for all levels of rope access training, with dates listed on our course calendar.
In addition to Rope Access Training Courses, we also participate in Rope Access / NDE Combination Inspection courses. These are held, on average, each month.
Current and scheduled inspection courses include:
- Rope Access / Radiation Safety Combination Training*
- Rope Access / MT&PT Combination Training*
- Rope Access / UT Combination Training*
*Please visit HASC’s Course Catalog for more information on scheduling and additional inspection courses.
If you are interested in training at HASC with us, please complete an online application so we may give you more information on the course(s) you are interested in attending.
Houston is an ideal location to learn and master rope access, and to also pair it with additional trades to ensure you cultivate the most successful and lucrative rope access career possible. The Houston area and the gulf specifically have no shortage of work, from high rise buildings to oil rigs. Non Destructive Testing is a great trade to pair with rope access in the gulf, with the industry only continuing to grow as infrastructure ages, requiring more inspections and testing. Additionally, the Houston area is a great location for other trades like façade maintenance, painting, blasting, tower maintenance and window cleaning.
The Houston area is ripe with work, but it is important to remember that nearly all of that work requires certifications and strict adhesion to regulations. Following SPRAT standards, OSHA standards, and other job site specific regulations is not an option, but a requirement. Because of this, it is ideal to obtain as much training as possible. Training at the Houston Area Safety Council makes this easier by providing so many training opportunities, everything from welding to NDT to first aid; all of which can be learned directly on the massive campus where over 1,500 people are trained and given occupational health services every day.
While we do not offer job placement for our candidates, we do have many strong relationships with companies in and around the gulf, and regularly refer students who we think would be a good fit for their hiring needs. Studying at HASC also affords all attendees and candidates a very valuable opportunity for networking. Not only will candidates attend courses with others in the industry, they will meet potential employers, equipment manufacturers, and masters of other trades willing to share their knowledge and advice.
