CERTIFICATIONCertification
A SPRAT certification provides instant recognition and credibility for the Technicians who carry it, and the companies who invest in it. In turn, companies that hire rope access services will look for the SPRAT certification, and will know you offer the industry’s best in technical achievement.
For detailed information on the evaluation process, please reference SPRAT’s Evaluation Guidelines found in Public Documents.
How can I become SPRAT certified?
There are three levels of certification available to interested rope access technicians. To become a SPRAT certified technician, all candidates will be required to attend a certification session and pass a written test, verbal test, and a hands-on physical performance based test assessed by a SPRAT certified Evaluator. To be eligible to test at each level, additional requirements may be required. A complete listing of the requirements at each level of certification is detailed in our Certification Requirements for Rope Access Work.
