WORK AT HEIGHT & ROPE ACCESS PROGRAM<br />
This program follow HSE guidelines and EU-requirements<br />
for working at height. They have been developed<br />
in close cooperation with our sister company<br />
Ascent Safety; which is a full member of both IRATA<br />
& SPRAT (worlds leading Rope <strong>Access</strong> Associations).<br />
Ascent and is a widely recognised specialist in the<br />
field of Height Safety and Rescue! We have combined<br />
their knowledge with our operational background and<br />
experience in special operations. This cooperation<br />
results in bomb-proof work solutions!<br />
TACTICAL URBAN ACCESS COURSE<br />
With the help of our extensive network we developed<br />
a comprehensive Tactical Urban <strong>Access</strong> Course<br />
(TUAC). This is not about abseiling and making silly<br />
knots. Rather than showing techniques that look<br />
fancy, we provide solutions that work! With the help<br />
of your new skill set and the aid of innovative equipment<br />
you will be able to go beyond the point where<br />
you had to stop before. And, as always, in a safe and<br />
effective manner.<br />
Our training certifies that your operators meet all<br />
legal health and safety requirements for the job in<br />
a very practical and effective manner! Suitable for<br />
urban and industrial environment .<br />
The course covers the use of a wide variety of innovative<br />
equipment (air launchers, manual and pneumatic<br />
poles and power ascenders) as well as basic climbing<br />
skills and the use of minimal gear in urban environment.<br />
COURSE PROGRAM IN 3 LEVELS<br />
This program breaks down in 3 courses: Basic,<br />
Advanced and Supervisor. Each level consists of 4<br />
training days and one assessment day. If required the<br />
Basic Course can be completed with an IRATA Level 1<br />
Assessment (the world wide certification for civilian<br />
Rope <strong>Access</strong> Operators). Note how ever that this<br />
course program is not a generic rope access course!<br />
TARGET AUDIENCE<br />
These courses are ideal for many military and law<br />
enforcement applications. Some examples:<br />
• Police negotiators (suicide jumpers, hostage<br />
rescue, etc.).<br />
• Removing activists.<br />
• Covert surveillance (audio & video placement,<br />
covert operations that should look like civilian<br />
activities).<br />
• Military Engineering (building structures, communication<br />
systems, etc.).<br />
• Military, Law Enforcement & Rescue instructors<br />
to improve knowledge and broad skill set that is<br />
needed for trainers.<br />
All courses are adapted to the specific needs of the<br />
participants: train to the job!<br />
The first week we will build a comprehensive "toolbox"<br />
consisting of skills and techniques. This building<br />
block is organized in our purpose built training centre.<br />
The second week we will visit several locations around<br />
the Netherlands for scenario based training. Scenario<br />
training is an essential part of the course. Candidates<br />
have to be very fit. At the end of the course it all<br />
comes together in various practical scenarios.<br />
These courses are aimed at Law Enforcement and<br />
Military special operations units (CT/SO/Intelligence/<br />
SWAT).<br />
