Novikontas delivers the training and arranges the assessment. Gridinta does not deliver the course, conduct the assessment or issue IRATA technician certification.
Level 1 is the entry route. Level 2 and Level 3 candidates must meet the applicable prior-certification, experience and logged-hours requirements, which the training provider should verify before booking.
Training completion does not guarantee proficiency or certification. Candidates must meet the course requirements and pass the independent assessment. Novikontas should confirm the current certificate validity, documents issued after a successful assessment and any renewal requirements.
IRATA Rope Access Technician Training Level 1
This course is meant for individuals who want to work in the industrial rope access sector.
The training is designed for beginners who will learn to inspect their own personal rope, accurately assess equipment, and assist in rig operations.
Training on rescue operations involving descent with rope is also involved in the training module.
IRATA Rope Access Technician Level 2
Training is intended for candidates wanting to learn the skills and knowledge required for working at complex workplaces, such as construction as well as heavy industry sectors onshore and offshore.
The course covers more advanced rope-access and rescue manoeuvres within Level 2 scope; task-specific installation competence is assessed separately.
IRATA Rope Access Technician Level 3
This advanced IRATA course is aimed at professionals who already have more than one year of experience and 1000 hours as IRATA level 2 technician.
It is intended for experienced technicians preparing to supervise rope-access safety. Broader project-planning or management duties require a separate appointment and suitable task competence.

All three pages list Riga, Latvia, and Klaipėda, Lithuania, without a separate price for each city. They list six days for groups of up to eight and seven days for larger groups. The Level 1 and 2 pages describe that duration as training including assessment. Before booking, ask Novikontas to confirm the assessment arrangement for your level and whether the fee includes the initial assessment, registration and certification documents.
The inspected pages do not specify VAT treatment, a course language for each intake, or a full list of price inclusions. Confirm the final amount, training and assessment language, equipment and materials, and whether meals, travel or accommodation cost extra. Reassessment is a separately advertised fee; successful certification is not guaranteed by attendance.
- Choose your level and ask Novikontas to check eligibility, current certification and logbook where applicable.

Course completion and certification are not the same as employment. Employers and project operators may require additional trade competence, medical fitness, safety training or site-specific credentials. Gridinta's rope access service page explains how rope access is used on industrial work, while current opportunities are published on the careers page. For general certification context, read the IRATA certification guide. Wind-industry roles may also ask for GWO safety training; see the GWO training courses delivered by the same partner.
