A SPRAT certification provides instant recognition and credibility for the Technicians who carry it, and the companies who invest in it. In turn, companies that hire rope access services will look for the SPRAT certification, and will know you offer the industry’s best in technical achievement.

 

For detailed information on the evaluation process, please reference SPRAT’s Evaluation Guidelines.

 

There are three levels of certification available to interested rope access technicians:

• Level I Technician
  An individual who performs rope access work.  A Level I Technician may only work under the direct, on-site supervision of a Rope Access Lead Technician or Supervisor

 

• Level II Technician
  An individual who is responsible for physically conducting rope access operations and/or safety evaluations of rope access operations, including maintenance of associated access equipment and performs all Rope Access Lead Technician duties as assigned in the employer’s rope access work program

 

• Level III Technician
  An individual who is responsible for the overall rope access work site and performs all Rope Access Supervisor duties as assigned in the employer’s rope access work program.

 

How can I become SPRAT certified?
To become a SPRAT certified technician, all candidates will be required to attend a certification session and pass a written test, verbal test, and a hands-on physical performance based test assessed by a SPRAT certified Evaluator. To be eligible to test at each level, additional requirements may be required.  A complete listing of the requirements at each level of certification is detailed in our Certification Requirements for Rope Access Work.
