How long does it take?

About 45 to 60 minutes, in 5 short modules with a quiz each. You can stop and carry on at any time, on a phone or a computer.

Is there a UK and an Irish version?

Yes. Each country has its own version, written for its own law and guidance. You choose your country when you start.

How does the practical assessment work?

In the last module you upload a short video of you inspecting and putting on a full body harness, on the ground, straight from your phone, or send a link to it on YouTube, Google Drive or Dropbox. The course assessment team watches it and either passes it or tells you what to practise and asks for another video, at no extra cost. An uploaded video is private and deleted 90 days after it is reviewed.

What certificate do I get?

A PDF certificate of completion once you pass the 15-question final test (11 correct answers) and your practical video passes its review. It shows your score, the topics covered and a QR code anyone can scan to check it online. It is a certificate of training, not a regulated qualification.

How much does it cost?

£18 per person in the UK (£15 + VAT) or €29 in Ireland, VAT included. The review of your practical video is included.

The 5 modules

Print the syllabus

01
Work at height and the law
Falls from height are one of the biggest causes of workplace deaths and serious injuries.
02
Ladders and step ladders
Ladders and step ladders are useful for short, simple jobs, but they cause many falls when used wrongly.
03
Platforms, edges, fragile surfaces and openings
For longer or more complex work, platforms with guardrails are safer than ladders.
04
Fall protection: harnesses, lanyards and rescue
When falls cannot be prevented, personal fall protection reduces the consequences.
05
Practical assessment: your harness video
To finish, you show that you can inspect and fit a full body harness correctly.

Course content based on the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and guidance from the Health and Safety Executive.

The practical assessment

To finish, you upload a short video of you inspecting and putting on a full body harness, on the ground, straight from your phone in the last module, or send a link to it on YouTube, Google Drive or Dropbox. The course assessment team checks it against the points taught in the course and either passes it or tells you what to practise, and you can send another video at no extra cost. You get your certificate once both the final test and the video pass. An uploaded video is private and deleted 90 days after it is reviewed.
