Advanced Tower Climbing Safety and RescueTraining is an intensive 3-day program and provides "CTC" certification which is now being required more often nowadays by general contractors. It meets all current tower safety training standards except the NATE "Competent Rescuer" standard which could cause problems if applied as written.

General Course Overview:

DAY 1: The first day is spent in the classroom and is fully in conjunction with the 2-day BASIC Tower Climbing Safety and Rescue.

DAY 2:

The second day begins in the classroom with a review, followed by a written examination covering the previous day's material; again, identical to the 2-day course. Requirements and expectations are all the same and climber candidates mobilize at the tower with the rest of the class.

DAY 3:

Advanced candidates remain for the third day and will be required to complete a series of advanced field exercises on a communications tower. Demonstrations will include rigging skills, knot tying and four rescue exercises with differing levels of difficulty and equipment & techniques for accomplishing them.

CERTIFICATION:

Students who have successfully passed the written exam and demonstrated all field exercises will receive a certificate and pocket identification card from ComTrain. ComTrain will maintain records of all training for future reference. Certification documents, showing that the student successfully mastered the published material and exercises, are valid for the life of the student.
