Candidates should be physically fit and unaffected by any disability or medical condition that may prevent them from working safely. They shall ensure that they have an adequate level of fitness, are physically able to perform the tasks expected in terms of strength, agility and co-ordination, and are able to withstand the stresses of the working environment, such as heat, cold, and other inclement weather.

Candidates are required to provide a statement of medical condition declaration that they do not have any known medical disabilities or contraindications that may prevent them from working safely. If a candidate has a contra-indicated condition, he/she shall obtain a medical certificate before commencing any rope access activities.

Candidates should consider their experience carefully before attempting to progress to a higher level.

Candidates without appropriate competence, adequate pre-assessment training and knowledge of the syllabus are unlikely to meet the requirements.

4 days training, 1 day assessment by independent IRATA assessor.

The course is assessed on day five by an independent IRATA assessor. This course is designed and delivered using BS8454 (code of practice for the delivery of training and education for work at height and rescue), IRATA international code of practice and equipment manufacturers technical instructions.

There are two possible overall results: pass or fail. To pass the assessment, the candidate shall successfully complete all the required elements of the syllabus at the relevant level. The assessment ends and the candidate fails if one major discrepancy or three minor discrepancies are committed during the assessment.

The candidate shall be able to obtain clarification of any requirement from the assessor at any time during the assessment.

The assessor shall inform the candidate of discrepancies and shall explain the safety issue(s) arising from the situation, when they occur and when safe to do so.

The candidate shall sign the IRATA ‘Technician Assessment Form’ [FM-025] prior to the assessment. At the end of the assessment, the assessor shall debrief each candidate and inform them of their Assessment outcome.
