What is SPRAT?
SPRAT stands for Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians. Rope access provides a safe, cost-effective, and efficient means of accessing structures and geologic features for inspection, maintenance, and construction.
SPRAT is dedicated to promoting the safe development of industrial rope access standards in the US, Canada, Mexico and beyond.
SPRAT supports companies and technicians using rope access with certification programs, regulatory support, networking, and opportunities to participate in developing industry-consensus standards. http://www.sprat.org
Overview
This 5 day program is comprised of a 4 day instructional course and a final days Evaluation. The program is open for Level 1 and Level 2 Candidates in a combined learning format. Level I is for students with 0 to 500 hours of dual rope access experience. It is for most people who have no prior SPRAT or equivalent certification. Level II is for level 1 Technicians with 500 hours and 6 months dual rope logged since obtaining their level 1 who are ready to advance to the next level. Level 2 instruction focuses on more advanced rigging and rescue skills required of the Technician working in a wide variety of environments. The course will prepare students to be strong candidates for the Evaluation. Instruction is provided by senior GMS Instructors who are SPRAT level 3 Technicians at a maximum 8 participants per Instructor. The final days Evaluation will be conducted by an independent SPRAT Evaluator in a written and practical exam format.
