What to Expect

The Conversion Course will cover the topics as outlined within the ERCA Training Syllabus through a combination of both theoretical and practical sessions to ensure staff are competent in the operation of the elements on-site. 

There are 2 assessments on this training course: a written exam and a practical assessment covering delivery of a session on a high ropes course.

On successful completion of the course, candidates will be awarded with a certificate from the European Ropes Course Association (ERCA). The certificates will note the type of safety systems used on the ropes course. 

These courses can be run at your own centre to enable correct familiarisation and association with equipment for your staff. Training courses will be geared to the specific requirements of your centre or ropes course facility to ensure that your staff have undergone robust, independent training will provide you with security and peace of mind. We will ensure that you have up to date awareness of industry regulations and how they affect you in addition to advice on maintenance, inspections and equipment.
