Frequently Asked Questions
How long does my certification last?
We issue a license, which expires in 3 years to ensure the person working at heights is Current. In 3 years a lot can change, if there is advancement in solutions, legislation or best practice this will be shared in a refresher course. The other reason for this is in the event a person worked at heights for a month after training and then not again in 4 years – they must be deemed competent to ensure they will not injure themselves or colleagues when working at heights.
How long is work at heights training?
Training courses vary from 1 day to 1 week. The information can be found in the ‘training information breakdown’.
Is lunch provided?
Coffee, Tea, Water and Biscuits will be offered throughout the training sessions. But we do not provide lunch. There is however a shopping centre 200m up the road with an abundance of choices for lunch.
Can Training be done on my site?
Yes – We can arrange for our team to be on site. There are requirements from our side to perform training on site such as an adequately sized training classroom as well as structure which can be used for practical’s. This is shared in pre-requisites when booking.
Why do you not offer Online Work at Heights Training?
Work at Heights is a Physical activity which involves putting on equipment and using the equipment in a safe manner. Deeming a person competent online is not ensuring they are able to perform the High-Risk activity safely in real life and would be doing the person performing this work a disservice as they would be in danger.
What is the minimum course size?
Depending on the course there are minimums and maximums. Ranging from a minimum of 5-8, depending on course and maximum of 5-15 depending on course. The reason for the maximum is to ensure each learner gets appropriate attention during the course to ensure they are given the best opportunity to be deemed competent at the end of the course.
What are the minimum requirements for the courses?
All courses are run in English and the candidates must be able to read, write and understand English as a minimum. They must also bring a certified copy of their ID(no older than 3 months) and a medical certificate which deems them Fit to work at heights. This information is shared upon beginning the booking process.
