Our Ropes Course Rescuer training offers the practical skills, technical insight and theoretical background to lead groups on a specific ropes course. The emphasis is on program safety. Depending on the initial competences of the trainees and the nature of the ropes course, this training takes 4 to 10 days.
Ropes Course Technician training covers the following subjects:
- general introduction to program safety and safety on ropes courses
- technical understanding of the ropes course and equipment
- pre-flight check of the course
- spotting
- knots for use by participants and/or leaders
- belay techniques for activities on high elements
- self-belay on high ropes course elements
- ropes course evacuations and problem-solving
- equipment care
- daily ropes course maintenance
The training combines hands-on practice with presentations on theoretical background information. Participants receive an customized syllabus.
Trainees who pass the test receive a Exponent Ropes Course Technician Certificate, consistent with the EN requirements for the Rescuer (NBN EN 15567-2(2008), Sports and Recreational Facilities - Ropes Courses – Part 2: Operation Requirements). The certificate remains valid for 2 years.
