Why train with Vertech

During a decommissioning project, an IRATA rope access technician descended from an offshore derrick structure.
INDUSTRY EXPERIENCED TRAINERS Our instructors have built careers on the tools — offshore, in refineries, on rigs and on high-rise. They teach what actually happens in the field.
SMALL GROUPS. REAL ATTENTION. 6–8 candidates per course with two IRATA instructors. You'll get hands-on coaching, not a back-row seat.
LARGEST FACILITY IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE Multiple set-ups for every manoeuvre, free-hanging ropes, structured climbs, an over-the-edge rig, an under-deck scenario and a crane boom to navigate.
MEMBER SINCE 2008 Vertech has been an IRATA member company for both operations and training for 18 years. Few schools in Australia can match that depth.
