Custom Rope Rescue Course

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.
