Rope Rescue Training
For people to become competent at rescuing a person on-ropes when working at heights or in the high risk industry
Ensure a swift and safe rescue
If your team is working at heights or in a high risk place, you can ensure that in the event of a fall or emergency there can be a swift and safe rescue by team members who are competent in rope rescue.
Rope Rescue Training COC – Certificate of Competency
We have identified that there is a lack of rope rescue courses such as this for workers within the high risk industry.
The course does not come with NZQA credits, however, students who are deemed competent at the end of the course will be issued with a Skill Lab Certificate of Competency (COC) card and certificate.
The course may cover a variety of basics as well as advanced training such as:
- Basic self rescue, basic buddy rescue
- Advanced rigging situations
- Advanced rescue
- Specialised equipment
- Rescue techniques and planning
- How to work with inexperienced workers
- Understanding pulley systems
- Hauling for rescue
- Lowering for rescue
- Advanced first aid
- Identifying rescue equipment short falls and limitations
- Any custom requirements you may have
Duration and course size
The duration and maximum numbers of people on the course will depend on your requirements and the complexity of the course content. We prioritise keeping everyone safe and maximising the best learning environment. A good instructor to student ratio is important especially if you would like to run through complex situations.

Custom Rope Rescue Course
We can custom design courses around your professional area of expertise or your specific needs. We will discuss your concerns at an initial consult meeting.
We are flexible and specialise in addressing short falls in knowledge and confidence.
This rope rescue training course meets employers, WorkSafe and best practice guideline recommendations to provide a minimum of one day a year for workers within high risk and heights industries.
We can conduct the course on-site at your location of work. There are no minimum number of participants but we do have a maximum of 16 as a higher ratio of students to trainer does negatively impact learning.

Our teaching style
Some people learn more effectively with verbal, written or visual teaching, others are more practical and learn by doing.
At the outset of each course we make an assessment on what type of learner each student is and then teach the course in a way that maximises learning and retention.
It’s taken over a decade of experience to hone this method and it works very well for most students.
After Care
We're there for you after the course has been delivered to answer any questions that you may have. We welcome emails or phone calls, sometimes we even have people sending photos to explain a question. Whatever it is, we are here to help.
