A 50 question test is also administered for certification. Candidates must pass the written exam with a score of 80% or better.

This 4 day course and 1 day evaluation is for those looking for careers in industrial rope access or as an important adjunct for current rope rescue technicians looking to advance their capabilities as small teams. This course focuses on vertical progress on 2 rope systems to gain access to work areas that traditional means cannot support. This course requires a good base of physical fitness and includes a pass/fail evaluation to earn certification. For the first 4 days students will practice the skills from the level 1 syllabus.

The final day is an evaluation conducted by a third party evaluator with no affiliation with the course or students. Evaluations are graded and allow a maximum of 3 discrepancies to pass the course. A 50 question test is also administered for certification. Candidates must pass the written exam with a score of 80% or better. With both the written exam and practical evaluation, obtaining SPRAT Level 1 is a true certification that can be applied to a variety of career pursuits including stadium maintenance, building envelop, bridge inspection and repair, CWI, wind turbine blade repair or paired with other trades such as welding to open up unique work opportunities. Rope access certification is also an excellent way to augment traditional rope rescue training and create more capable responders, especially for small team response.
