To ensure the most effective learning experience in our courses, students need to meet the following criteria:

• English Language Proficiency: Adequate proficiency in written and oral English is essential, equivalent to NCEA level 1 (year 11) or IELTS 5.5 or higher. 

• Physical Fitness for Working at Heights: Given the high-risk nature of working at heights, it’s crucial for students to have the necessary physical strength, balance, and coordination to complete all tasks.

• Weight Restrictions:  Due to equipment load limits, participants must weigh under 140kg.

• Medical Considerations: If you have any injuries or medical conditions that might impact your ability to participate fully, please reach out to us beforehand.

For a successful on-site private course, we need:

1. Spacious Training Area: Adequate room for practical exercises, with space for participants to safely work with partners on the ground.

2. Practical Component: Access to a compliant structure that allows for safe demonstration of working at heights (at a minimum height of 2 meters) is required. The structure must be able to accommodate two students working safely at height and comply with all relevant standards.

3. Ventilation: A well-ventilated room to ensure a comfortable learning environment.
4. Furnishings: Two tables and sufficient chairs for participants and trainers.
5. Projector Space: An area for clear projector display.
6. AV Equipment: We can utilise your AV setup if available.
7. Heights equipment:  We can bring ours, or students may use their own. Please note, if students are bringing their own gear, it must be compliant with relevant AS/NZS standards, and have a record of inspection to be sighted by the Trainer. 

These essentials ensure a safe, efficient, and engaging training experience. Your support in providing this environment helps us deliver the best possible training. Please get in touch if you have any questions.
