What To Do?

R1CH-G · Mar 1, 2011

Recently I took Voluntary Redundancy and I'm looking to get some further Qualifications (2391 - 20, PASMA ad IPAF) so I can get back into work as soon as posible. I was thinking about going for a Rope Access course as well, but wondered if the investment will pay off? I also want to know if there's any issues regarding age and size for Rope Access?

Anyone got any experiences that may be helpful?

Not aware of any sparkies with rope access qualifications. Mostly used by window cleaners, and whoever cleans the O2.

I got asked if I was the window cleaner when I turned up to work with a Fristads tool vest. Sometimes I can't stand Joe Public, lol.

Might be an idea to get the tickets for the Tube, not an Oyster Card, the PTS or whatever it's called nowadays.
I belive you have to get it through a work Agency. This one, Fast Track will do it, 0192 381 3100.

Well, signed up for the 2391-20 today, start next week. Also sorted out IPAF and PASMA. Got the whole lot for under £900! Result as far as I'm concerned!!
