Look for companies using IRATA qualified personnel.

For the life of me I can't see why someone would be willing to dangle from a rope above the north sea

Each to their own tho I suppose

They are known as "dope on a rope" in the theatre of the ridiculous.

I'm rope access manager for one of the major service co's in Aberdeen. Feel free to give me a shout if your looking for advice.

The best thing I could ask you though is do you have a trade. Too many people going about these days doing a rope access ticket as a means to get offshore, without any thought into what they can do when they get up there. Remember, rope access is only just a means of access to get to an area so you can carry out your trade... It's not a trade in itself.

Cheers and good luck
