SPRAT 1
A lead instructor from Fall Line Industrial will facilitate this course. This 5-day course prepares candidates for SPRAT Level I certification. A successful candidate should be capable of performing a range of rope access tasks under the direct supervision of a more experienced technician.
Course Overview
This 5-day program comprises four days of instruction and a final day with an evaluation of skills. The Fall Line Industrial training program is open to Level 1 Candidates. The training is designed to prepare participants for a SPRAT L1 Evaluation.
• Level 1 is for candidates who have no prior SPRAT certification. Participants must meet physical and medical minimum requirements. Understanding rope systems is helpful, but no prior experience is required.
This course will prepare students to be strong candidates for a SPRAT Evaluation. Level III Instructors provide instruction with both field and instructional experience. Fall Line Industrial strives to give candidates an overall view of the industry, allowing them to be future solid technicians. A SPRAT Evaluator will conduct a PASS / FAIL Evaluation on the final day. SPRAT utilizes a written, oral, and practical exam. Candidates who pass the SPRAT Evaluation will receive a certification valid for three years. Unsuccessful candidates require an additional course to re-attempt SPRAT Certification and are responsible for all costs associated with tuition. Participating in a course or SPRAT Evaluation does not guarantee SPRAT Certification. Fall Line, Industrial rope access courses, are designed to ensure participants get personal attention and prepare each candidate for success in the rope access industry.
Rope Access Techniques:
- Ascent / Descent and changeovers
- Pass obstructions: knots, deviations, intermediate anchors (re-belay), and edge obstructions.
- Rope-to-rope transfers
- Aid climbing: horizontal point-to-point and sliding (IRATA Level I only)
- Structure climbing: climbing with fall arrest equipment
Rope Access Course Participant Considerations
Fall Line Industrial is dedicated to providing the industry with the highest quality rope access technicians. A rope technician must be able to simultaneously perform rope work safely in addition to completing tasks in
hard-to-reach areas. Due to the demanding nature of the work, participants should be selected carefully before participating in a rope climbing training course.
The following are the requirements for each participant:
– 18 years old is the minimum age requirement

– Able to meet requirements for medical waiver forms
– Ability to take direction from supervisors
– Positive attitude
– Leadership qualities
– Aptitude for working at height

Candidates should be aware of the minimum requirements before participating in a course. The understanding of this information is crucial to ensuring the safety of rope teams that perform work and rescue in the field
daily.
