IRATA Training Vancouver
This course provides you with an IRATA Rope Access certification for levels 1, 2, or 3 at our Burnaby location. If you are new, upgrading, or re-certifying, you must attend the full course. The re-assessment fee is if you are unsuccessful and need to re-do the test again.
Class times are Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM with a one hour lunch break.
There are 4 in-class theory and practical training days and a 5th day assessment with a third party assessor.
All training equipment is provided. Students may bring their own CSA approved rope access helmets which will be subject to inspection.
The IRATA Level 1 course is designed for new students who have never done any rope access course before. You'll be introduced to the IRATA certification process, learn how to operate the rope access system, and what your role is in a rope access team.
The IRATA Level 2 course is designed for anyone who has completed their L1 and meets the IRATA L2 prerequisite requirements for training admittance. Or, if you need to recertify your almost expiring IRATA level 2 certification. The L2 course goes beyond the basics and focuses on advanced rigging techniques developed to achieve more complex access solutions.
The IRATA L3 course is available for all level 2 IRATA technicians with pre-requisites to advance or current level 3 technicians that need to renew with almost expiring level 3 certification. It is also the basis for Rope Access supervisory roles.
