IRATA Rope Access Logbook Refresher Training in Belfast


A focused 1-day hands-on refresher designed for IRATA Level 1–3 rope access technicians who have been away from the ropes or without a logbook sign-off for six months or more, but still hold a valid IRATA certificate. This course is perfect for those returning to work who want to rebuild confidence, fine-tune their technique, and demonstrate safe, up-to-date working practices.


Under the guidance of our experienced IRATA Level 3 instructors, you’ll review and practice essential rope skills including equipment inspection and care, rigging fundamentals, controlled movement on rope, and rescue readiness. We’ll also revisit risk assessments, UK legal responsibilities, and IRATA ICOP requirements to make sure you’re fully prepared for site work.

IRATA Rope Skills Refresher

Revisit essential rope access techniques under expert supervision. This includes harness fitting, safe use of ascenders and descenders, back-up devices, rigging of Y-hangs, deviations and re-belays, edge management, and correct rope handling. We’ll identify and correct any unsafe habits while reinforcing best practice to meet current IRATA standards.

Risk Management & Rescue

Refresh your ability to plan and execute work at height safely. You’ll complete risk assessments (RAMS), set up exclusion zones, control dropped-object hazards, and ensure compliance with site permits. Practical sessions will cover lower/raise systems and basic casualty pick-off so you’re confident in handling emergencies before they happen.

Records Logbook Compliance

Revisit your responsibilities under UK legislation, including the Work at Height Regulations, PUWER, and LOLER. Learn how these connect to the IRATA International Code of Practice (ICOP) and on-site supervision requirements. You’ll also update your IRATA logbook with signed entries from our Level 3 instructors to evidence your recent activity.

Participant Requirements

Before enrolling, ensure you meet the essential criteria:


  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Hold a current and valid IRATA Level 1, 2, or 3 certificate
  • Have not worked on the ropes or had a logbook entry for 6 months or more
  • Be physically fit and medically certified to work at height
  • Bring your IRATA logbook (even if it hasn’t been updated recently)
  • Wear suitable work clothing
  • Be proficient in English (for instruction, safety, and assessment)


These standards ensure participant safety, allow our instructors to tailor the refresher to your needs, and ensure compliance with IRATA training and record-keeping requirements.

  • What is the IRATA Logbook Refresher and why is it needed?

    IRATA certificates remain valid for three years, but if you haven’t worked in rope access for over 6 months, a 1‑day refresher is required by IRATA standards to ensure skills are still current.

  • Do I need to hold a current IRATA certification to attend?

    Yes — participants must hold a current, valid IRATA Level 1, 2, or 3 certificate and have not had a logbook entry in the past six months to attend this IRATA Logbook Refresher training

  • What will the refresher cover at Dangle Academy?

    You’ll refresh essential practical rope skills, including twin‑rope use, rigging setup, movement technique, rescue basics (for L3), risk assessment, and logbook entry protocols.

  • Will my logbook be signed during the course?

    Yes. A Dangle Academy qualified IRATA Level 3 instructor will formally sign your logbook to confirm completion of the refresher in accordance with IRATA TACS (Training, Assessment and Certification Scheme) requirements.

  • What happens if I have lost my logbook?

    You must arrange a replacement logbook with IRATA prior to attending. Dangle Academy requires a valid logbook to participate, and refresher entries cannot be made without it.
