Purpose

The New Zealand Certificate in Industrial Rope Access (Level 4) is to provide the industrial rope access sector with people who have attained intermediate level skills to perform industrial rope access work. Graduates of this qualification will be able to lead industrial rope access jobs independently.

Rope access refers to safe methods of working at height where ropes and associated equipment are used to gain access to and from the workplace, and to be supported there. It includes inspection and testing, maintenance and repair, cleaning and painting, geotechnical and construction.

The qualification is aligned to the Industrial Rope Access Association of New Zealand (IRAANZ) Certificate of Competency for Level 4 Rope Access Operators.

On completion of the training, graduates will be able to:

  • Apply the current health and safety legislation and the Industrial Rope Access in New Zealand: Best Practice Guidelines (May 2012) to work on industrial rope access systems
  • Plan, prepare for, communicate instructions, document and lead industrial rope access jobs
  • Install and construct anchors and use improvised anchors for industrial rope access work
  • Identify and adhere to health and safety requirements when using ropes and associated equipment to gain access to and from, and be suspended at, work sites
  • Perform light hauling operations using rope access systems
  • Perform lead and aid climbing using rope access systems
  • Perform technical rescue techniques for industrial rope access work.

All credit reporting (trainee results) will be reported by VHNZ to NZQA. On completion of the programme, VHNZ will issue trainees with the New Zealand Certificate in Industrial Rope Access (Level 4).

What does it Cost

You will earn while you learn. That means you don’t have to fork out for large student loans or work multiple jobs to pay the bill. The NZ Government is right behind getting people into trades, so they help subsidise your training.

NOTE: The cost after subsidy from the Government is $42 per week. This amount can be paid by direct debit – weekly, fortnightly, or monthly to suit. The weekly amount is charged until you complete the required duration of the programme, and you are fully signed off by an Assessor.
