Hi Colin welcome to the forum! Your IRATA level doesn't really dictate what type of job you are going to end up with, unless it's a Level 3 in which case you could either be doing the job that you've trained for ie a trade, or supervising a rope access job. Your 'other' skills are what will get you a job - do you have any trade experience behind you? What other skills / qualifications do you have that would benefit an employer?

I think drones will increase in their popularity but there will always be a need for human intervention at some stage of the way. As for food delivery, yes, I can see that happpening more often too but there will always be situations where it just wont be possible to deliver to everyone, so a human will need to take over - Singapore (My most favourite city!) is a great example, it would be impossible to deliver to everyone in that city.

I'm glad I could help.!

Hi Claudia Welcome to the forum! There are a lot of women working in Rope Access, not a huge amount by percentage but enough all the same to let you know that what you are asking is achievable. Like most careers, Rope Access depends on what other skills you can bring to the table, however, that may not necessarily just be qualifications or experience - what is almost as important is having the right mindset to achieve your aims. You seem to have that 'go for it' attitude which is really important - starting from the bottom is difficult, tough even, but still achievable with

Hi there, welcome to the forum! There are a great many others out there who have started exactly the way you have - some of them stick at it and make a success out of it and others give up after a certain period of time. Transitioning from any career is difficult but not at all impossible, it boils down to your own personal attitude and aptitude to change. You have established engineering technical skills in your existing job that would help in your transition so that puts you at a slight advantage over someone coming in from a different background. You ask if its worth it? Only you

You'll find it way easier to find lower level Rope Access work then build yourself up from there. Theres a lot of chances in Rope Access geotechnical work and building maintenance etc. Its lower paid, more competition but easier to find work. You'll soon find after coming out of your blade care course you'll be competing with fibreglass guys that have been using that medium to repair stuff for years, they'll have a natural advantage over you. As with any career change, you can't short cut your way to a high paying job - you'll need to build up at it, add to your personal networks and cont

Welcome to the forum..! Your idea about getting your IRATA L1 then transitioning up has a better chance of success, it will also offer a means to generate an income that's not specifically wind turbine based, thereby not putting all of your eggs in one basket. The blade repair course is a good one, but as it says on the tin 'basic' and as such, competition for jobs at that level is high. The Rope Access ticket will help you make some money along the way as you transition into your new career.

It is, you have basic transferable skills. ie using power tools at height etc. There are plenty lower skilled jobs that can be combined with a rope access ticket - only downside is you have a lot of competition at the lower skill levels so it's not a position you want to be holding for too long - they key to it (like any career) is continuous training and personal development.
