No probs Dean. I wanted to do it as i love abseiling but the cost of the course at the time (about 8yrs ago) was out of my limit and there was no guarenteed work there if i passed. I think if your not getting this kind of work regular enough then its not worth putting someone through as you would have to employ a trainer for the first x amount of hours.

I'm probably too old to do abseiling (although I did quite a bit when I was in the forces), but wouldn't it be a good idea to check on insurance before thinking about a course/training.

Hi Dean

In my former window cleaning business which I had prior to 2004 in Bradford I had a few guys trained to Irata level 1 - 5 day course - easy enough - bought equipment - got them work to clean................

They daren't go over the side of the building - even when we hired in Irata level 3 (which you will need) guy to tie ropes etc

My advice would be.
First make sure the guys are OK with cradle (all mine were)
Then either bite the bullet and train them up (I won't do that again)
Sub contract the work out (that's what I do now)

Hope this helps
