Entry requirements

Delegates must be physically fit for courses involving practical exercises and PPE. Key health conditions to consider include heart disease, respiratory issues (e.g., asthma), high blood pressure, epilepsy, vertigo, impaired limb function, uncorrected vision problems, and any substance dependencies. 

If unsure, employers should arrange a medical assessment. We reserve the right to refuse training to those deemed medically unfit. 

Delegates using manriding or fall arrest equipment must not exceed a weight limit of 127kg (20 stone). Customers may use their own equipment if the assessor confirms it is fit for purpose, properly calibrated, and compatible with course equipment.

Ideally yes, as this course involves the wearing of escape breathing apparatus and facial hair can prevent a proper seal between the mask and the wearer’s face. However, we can provide hooded style BA if delegates are not clean shaven.

Delegates must provide photographic ID, such as a passport or driving licence, before completing any course. The legal name on the ID will appear on the certificate. 

In addition, all candidates are required to bring the following PPE for practical exercises:

  • Hard hat
  • Workwear 
  • Safety footwear 
  • Gloves

Yes. Due to the nature of the training course and the emphasis placed on communication, there is only a provision for the assessments to be undertaken in English. Therefore English proficiency is required.
