PRI's Technician Level Course is an entry level program and no prior experience is required. However, even skilled rescuers will be challenged. The curriculum was developed to meet NFPA 1006 guidelines for Rope Technicians.
PRI's Specialist Level Course is designed for Technician Level graduates who have a solid background in technical rope rescue and have a desire to build on their skills. On the first day of the Specialist Course, students must successfully pass an evaluation of Technician Level skills.
NOTE: Technician and Specialist Level Courses run concurrently, April 20 - April 26, 2012.
SPRAT’s Annual Conference is held every January. The program features technical presentations of interest to rope access professionals, the annual rope access olympics, and plenty of networking opportunities.
In-depth discussions include the future of the rope access industry, regulations, techniques, new technology and new opportunities in rope access. The conference provides an energetic forum for rope access professionals to share with and learn from their peers.
