Pre-requisites

TACS 4.3 Pre-training requirements: upgrading to Level 2
TACS 4.3.1 Candidates applying to upgrade shall be competent in all practical and theory requirements
of their current level prior to attendance of an upgrade course, e.g. an existing Level 1 attending a Level
2 course shall be capable of performing all Level 1 techniques and answering Level 1 theory questions
prior to the start of a Level 2 course.
TACS 4.3.2 Candidates who are not competent at their existing level may require additional training. As
little time is available on upgrade courses for refresher training, pre-course evaluation is recommended
to verify the candidates’ current level of competence.
TACS 4.3.3 Candidates seeking to upgrade shall ensure that:
a) their current certification is still valid on the day of assessment;
b) they have the necessary 1 years’ experience and 1000 working hours recorded and signed off in
their logbook. See TACS 4.13 for more details on logbooks.

On arrival to your training course, you are required to complete a statement of medical condition (IRATA Form 014R below). Should a medical contra-indication be identified a medical clearance certificate is required prior to course attendance.

On rare occasions, failure to complete any of the pre-requisites above could lead to re-validating at the same level or downgrading.

Log Book Requirements

Candidates 1,000 hours logbook and 12 months experience of IRATA Rope Access at Level 1. Correctly completed logbook is to be presented on Day 1 of training. No logbook = No Assessment.
