Advice for NZ rope work

hi guys

I recently just passed my lvl 1 irata so now I’m looking at jobs in the uk and nz.

i have a working holiday visa for nz valid until 02/02/2027 (6ish months away) so could anyone advise me on whether in this type of work that, I go out there with just the level 1 cert and try get work out there or, if I get a few months work here in the uk to get some xp under my belt? Or is that too short for the companies that might hire me?

also does anyone have any info on geotech work out there? as that’s what I’d prefer to go into.

cheers lads

What’s a realistic pathway to become a rope access technician (interested in the geotechnical side of things)

hi guys

im a complete novice at anything rope access related but for a few months now I‘ve been doing random research and seeing videos of it all over and I’d like to actually try and go somewhere with it.

i’m just unsure if I’m too late to it being 24 years old without any experience. I’ve looked mostly into rockfall protection/geotechnical but all of it does catch my attention honestly. would anyone know if that’s a realistic place to start or with this type of work is it known to start by doing simple tasks ie painting, window cleaning? not sure what one would do after they’ve got their IRATA certificate or if a company can sponsor one to get their IRATA level 1.

i know anyone can go onto the level 1 without any experience but if you’d get this what would the next step be going towards rockfall protection etc.

any information would be good i just want to get a sense of what the pathway would look like

thanks
