What is the best part of a rope access technician’s career? What is the most liked part of a person’s career in this field? 

A rope access technician working in various industries like film rigging, rope access, and entertainment simultaneously, where he often works at scary heights, seems exciting to the seasoned professional. Although the projects or tasks are quite similar in most cases, working in various venues and places makes the job interesting and challenging. At the same time, in the case of the entertainment rigging industry, the rope access technician has an opportunity to often work with the tour riggers and road crews. 

What is SPRAT/IRATA level & how many hours do you usually have when working as a Rope Tech? 

If a person qualifies for IRATA Level 2, he can work in various industries. He can focus on the film industry during the winter and fall, but receiving lots of hours on ropes isn't easy. A seasoned rope tech technician can spend up to 1106 hours in a period of 2.5 years, which has made him available to upgrade to level 2 very comfortably. 

In films, this is almost impossible in claiming hours as a rope access tech as there is no level 3 Techs on the site & all the things can be rigged from the lifts. However, with the right level of knowledge, a professional can see the world as a Rope Tech, and that can be very helpful. 

During summer, a rope tech technician works on several film rigging projects.

What are a technician's favorite rope access products in his kit?

The most obvious things in the kit of a rope technician are a Vertex helmet and a Petzl Astro harness. The CT Sparrow 200R is the most preferred among the technicians. That is the major descender. The major backup device, in this case, is PetzL ASAP, and the secondary one is the Duck. The kit for rope access from this company performs at its best. However, in most cases, the rope technicians' companies provide the equipment to them.

Conclusion 

Overall, this can be concluded that a Rope Access Technician Career is very exciting and is being adopted by many who love adventure and being on edge. Choosing this career gives them an opportunity to work in various industries and their work never bores them under any circumstances.
