Went for Working at heights and technical rescue. Best facilities I've seen for a training centre. Plenty of top class equipment to use and lots of different physical set ups to test various scenarios. Great teaching too from Luke. Feel very confident working and conducting rescues now.
Excellent course, tailored to our needs in the vessels and the final scenario was very close to what we would encounter.
Really good course. I was completely new to ropes and had no experience in this industry. Gus is very knowledgeable and was extremely friendly and patient throughout the course and made everything very easy to understand. I feel like I've learned a lot and would happily come back for follow up courses.
