IRATA Training & Rope-Access Courses
Vertical Access Ltd is one of the leading training companies in the UK and was established by Paul Braithwaite over 20 years ago. Our Training Manager, Richard Hudson, is one of the most experienced and respected trainers in the UK and has an excellent first-time pass rate.

Paul Bingham, Health & Safety Director for Vertical Access, was formerly Chairman of IRATA and an IRATA Assessor. He is now Chairman of the IRATA Health & Safety Committee, and made a significant contribution to the recently published IRATA International Code of Practice.

Our courses are designed to cover all elements of the IRATA training syllabus and current legislation. Our comprehensive training manual is an excellent reference aid whilst training, and to working in the industry.

All courses take place at the “Leeds Wall” Climbing Centre, where we have our own indoor training facility, which has recently undergone renovation. The facility uses structural steelwork, which gives an industrial feel and is non-weather dependent.

During the course candidates will be able to try out a range of rope-access equipment, and are given the opportunity to buy equipment at a discounted price at the end of their training.

Our website provides information on:
  • IRATA Level 1 training courses
  • IRATA Level 2 training courses
  • IRATA Level 3 training courses
We also run refresher training courses, and offer courses in all aspects of safe working at heights.

Reviews & Testimonials for Vertical Access Ltd

5 star review

Your instructor, Richard Hudson, has to be the best instructor I have been involved with in my 15 years in Rope Access. His knowledge, patience and attitude are a credit to your company and it was a pleasure to deal with Vertical Access Ltd in all aspects. The Leeds Wall is a very good facility, with a varied degree of access challenges to suit all levels and is recommended, especially in the winter months.

I would not hesitate in recommending your course or company for any aspect of rope access, be it training or industrial work requirements.

Once again, many thanks for everyone’s assistance.
