This training course is designed to give you the skills to gain access to, and move around, structures typically found within the entertainment industry or similar.

The course covers a range of work at height methods from simple restraint systems to some of the more advanced ‘on rope’ access techniques.

We will provide you with a broad understanding of the uses and limitations of the equipment and the working techniques involved. During the course you will be taught how to move around the structure at low level before moving to more exposed areas to complete simulated work tasks, always fully supervised by your trainer.
