We will challenge you during your level 3 course. Many of the techniques you have been shown to date by other training suppliers involve a great deal of equipment and exertion. We will teach you how to accomplish the same using less equipment, less energy and less time. AIRA trainers will also prepare you in SWMS preparation, Work Health & Safety 2011 legislation and some advanced rigging techniques. After an AIRA course based on IRATA requirements you will be in front of your competitors for that much sought after supervisor’s role.
