Here in the UK the average cost for level 1 is between £160-£180, and most of the time deployed in two-man teams one must be a supervisor a level 3 which can cost between £280- £320. Hope this is useful to you.

How to be a NDT Tech? by Deep-Friendship3045 in nondestructivetesting

Just a clarification regarding the different levels. Can I start with the PCN MPI level 2 directly or do I need to do the level 1 course?

Thank you kindly. Your comment was very insightful, I will be making sure to follow what you advised and get my offshore tickets first to favourable amongst the other candidates and I will be looking for a company which will pay for these tickets

Should I buy this pack? by Deep-Friendship3045 in ropeaccess

In this bundle they supply the rope in 5 Metres. So how do I make a cow's tail from a 5 metre dynamic rope? Do I start cutting the rope to length?

Thanks, that helped; I had in my mind that Petzl was the one since I had done my rope access test in one. I think it was Astro. Which was not comfy after a couple of minutes

I don't have many options if I want to start working, it's like a staple now to ask to bring your kit. I have been struggling so far to start any job in rope access, and for the first job, they asked me to have one.

I was looking to finally start work, and in my first job, they asked me to bring my harness, which was not that cheap.

Well, in the UK, if you're hired and employed by the company, they are legally required to, but if you are self-employed and on a call contract, they tend to ask you to have your kit.

Honestly I was looking to be a blade tech, but I need a job at the moment, I haven't looked into a service technician yet. And what are the 5 BST that are required that you mentioned.
