ITRA Level 3 Rope – Direct Entry Assessment

Assessment Text

This assessment is designed to evaluate your competence as a Level 3 Rope Specialist, demonstrating advanced rigging, supervision and rescue capability in accordance with the International Technical Rescue Association (ITRA) Level 3 Rope standard. As a direct entry candidate, you are expected to arrive with the prerequisite skills, experience, and understanding necessary to perform at an advanced level without prior Level 1 or 2 certification.

During this assessment you will be required to demonstrate:

1. Technical Knowledge & Professional Judgement

You must show a clear and accurate understanding of:

• ITRA principles, terminology, and operational expectations

• Rope physics, system forces, anchors, and rigging theory

• Risk assessment, hazard identification, and safe-system-of-work planning

• Equipment selection, inspection, compatibility, and standards

• Communication protocols and team leadership in high-risk environments

Assessors may ask verbal or scenario-based questions to confirm underpinning knowledge and your ability to justify decisions.

2. Advanced Rope Rigging Skills

You will be required to rig, manage, and supervise complex rope systems, including:

• Multi-point anchor systems (directional, shared, equalised, high-strength)

• Off-angle and non-ideal anchor solutions

• Redirects, deviations, re-belays

• Twin-system main and belay arrangements

• Highline and tensioned systems (as required by the local Level 3 skill set)

• Vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and multi-pitch transitions

All systems must be efficient, technically sound, and compliant with ITRA principles.

3. Team Leadership & Operational Command

You must demonstrate:

• Clear operational leadership under pressure

• Situational awareness and decision-making

• Dynamic risk assessment

• Ability to brief, delegate and supervise a rope rescue team

• Maintaining safety oversight while multitasking

Your leadership style must be consistent with professional rescue expectations and ensure operational safety throughout.

4. Casualty Management & Rope-Based Rescue

Scenarios may include:

• Recovering a casualty from vertical, horizontal, or complex terrain

• Rescue through obstacles, deviations or re-belays

• Stretcher movement, packaging, and edge management

• Pick-offs (from both minimal and complex rescue positions)

• Managing multiple rescuers and maintaining system integrity

Assessors will observe your ability to combine technical rigging competence with casualty care, communication, and safe system control.

5. Scenario-Based Assessments

You will complete a series of practical scenarios designed to test your ability to:

• Analyse a complex environment and plan a safe approach

• Select appropriate equipment and justify system choices

• Build systems efficiently, safely and in line with ITRA Level 3 requirements

• Supervise a team and maintain operational control

• Adapt to changing conditions, unexpected issues, and assessor injects

You must demonstrate consistency, confidence, and high-level rope rescue capability across all tasks.

6. Safety Expectations

At all times you must work within the following safety principles:

• Maintain two forms of attachment when required

• All edge, fall, equipment and environmental hazards must be managed

• All systems must be checked before use

• Communication must be clear, concise and recorded where applicable

• Any unsafe action may result in termination of the assessment

You are responsible for your own safety, team safety, and the safety of the simulated casualty.

Assessment Outcome

Your performance will be measured against the ITRA Level 3 Rope Assessment Criteria. You will be assessed on:

• Technical accuracy

• System efficiency

• Professional conduct

• Team leadership

• Safety management

• Ability to justify and defend decision-making

To be awarded ITRA Level 3 Rope Certification, you must demonstrate competence across all required elements.
