Open Gym Training

Utilizing an open gym time at our training center means you can practice building multiple rigging systems in different ways, attempt to get into position in a variety of approaches, and practice techniques you don't often use. Network with other technicians and explore why some maneuvers work better than others under certain circumstances - continually improving yourself not only makes you more proficient, but competent and safe.

Petzl PPE Competent Person Course

Gain competency in the thorough examination of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This Petzl course is perfect for individuals who are responsible for equipment and work at height PPE inspections.

Custom Work At Height Training

We understand that sometimes you need training for a specific work site or structure. Understanding the rescue procedures, protocols, and equipment for a particular job is important and you may not have someone qualified in-house to run this program. Our training team has helped many companies in this scenario with our custom rescue training. These programs can be completed at our facilities or on site.

The training at Pacific Ropes is exceptional. I can't recommend them enough. Every time I train here I learn so much. The equipment that the pupil can use is the latest and best on the market. They always have new devices which you can learn to use and then add to your arsenal of devices in the field. The training centre itself has enough space to set up any scenario you can imagine. All in all a great experience as ever.

Have had a great week so far, all training has been completed and all that is left is practice and the test. I feel very competent completing the level 1 training tasks and look forward to finishing my level one. Want to say a big thanks to Aaron for being very professional and helpful when needed. Will be back for level 2

Great teachers full of patience and knowledge. Leveling up requires a lot of new skills and maneuvers, Aaron broke everything down really well and simplified everything perfectly. His knowledge is plentiful. My course was a small group which was awesome to cover things quickly with more time for practice.
