Official Course Overview

Working at Heights Course Built on the Law, Not on a Slideshow

Falls from height are still among the leading causes of workplace deaths and serious injuries in Ireland, above all in construction, agriculture and maintenance. A fall injures the person working at height and often anyone below, and in nearly every case it was preventable. This Working at Heights Course is written line by line against that law, so the certificate you download at the end stands up in a real inspection instead of just looking good in a folder.

Every control measure in this working at heights course is filmed and illustrated, so you see a ladder, a podium and a tower scaffold set up correctly rather than reading about it. Pass the final test and your certificate is issued instantly by email.

Built on
  • Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005
  • General Application Regulations 2007, Part 4
  • Construction Regulations 2013

The three rules that shape your training

  1. Regulations 96 to 106

    Height work has to be planned and controlled

    Work at height must be properly organised, supervised and carried out with suitable equipment. Where the work happens on a construction site, the Construction Regulations 2013 apply on top.

  2. Section 13

    You have to use the training you are given

    Once trained, part of the duty is yours. You have to use the access equipment as intended, check it before you climb, and not put yourself or anyone below at risk.

  3. Regulation 101

    Equipment has to be inspected and recorded

    Ladders, scaffolds and platforms need documented inspection. The course shows you exactly what to look for and what the record has to contain.

Course Curriculum

Your Working at Heights Course, module by module

Six short modules take you from the Irish legislation to a ladder, tower or harness you can inspect and trust before you climb. Everything is written in simple, clear language, built around Part 4 of the General Application Regulations 2007 and the Construction Regulations 2013, and it all counts towards your Working at Heights Certificate.

6 Short modules, start to finish
1-2 hrs Typical time to finish
20 Exam questions, 75% to pass
3 years Certificate validity

Stop and start whenever you like. Progress saves automatically, retakes are always free, and the whole Working at Heights Course is CPD Certified and written for Irish workplaces.

  1. Working at Heights Legislation in Ireland

    Legislation

    Regulations 96 to 106 and the hierarchy that shapes every decision at height: avoid the work where you can, prevent the fall where you cannot, minimise the harm if one happens.

  2. Fall Prevention and Protection Systems

    Fall protection

    Guardrails, working platforms, restraint and fall arrest systems: what each one does, when each applies, and why collective protection always comes before personal protection.

  3. Ladder and Scaffold Safety

    Access equipment

    A ladder, a podium and a tower scaffold set up correctly on camera: angles, tie offs, three points of contact, and the documented inspections Regulation 101 requires.

  4. Risk Assessment for Height Work

    Risk assessment

    How to assess a height task before anyone leaves the ground: the surface, the weather, the equipment, the people below, and the plan if something changes mid job.

  5. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

    PPE

    Harnesses, lanyards, anchor points and helmets: how to inspect each one before you climb, and how to wear a harness so it protects instead of injuring.

  6. Emergency Rescue Procedures

    Rescue

    Rescue plans, suspension trauma and why a person hanging in a harness needs help in minutes, not whenever help happens to arrive. Finish this module and the final exam unlocks: pass it and your certificate downloads straight away.

100% Real Verified Reviews

A Word Between Friends

Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review.

Questions, Answered Plainly

Working at Heights Course in Ireland, Answered Plainly

The questions workers and employers send us every week about the Working at Heights Course, the certificate and what the HSA expects, answered without the sales talk.

What does the Working at Heights Course actually cover?

Falls from height are still among the leading causes of workplace deaths and serious injuries in Ireland, above all in construction, agriculture and maintenance. A fall injures the person working at height and often anyone below, and in nearly every case it was preventable. The course takes that risk apart step by step, then shows you the controls that remove it. Every control measure in this working at heights course is filmed and illustrated, so you see a ladder, a podium and a tower scaffold set up correctly rather than reading about it. Pass the final test and your certificate is issued instantly by email.

Is Working at Heights Training a legal requirement in Ireland?

Regulations 96 to 106 is the short answer. Work at height must be properly organised, supervised and carried out with suitable equipment. Where the work happens on a construction site, the Construction Regulations 2013 apply on top. Our course is written directly against that wording, which is why it satisfies the duty rather than merely gesturing at it.

How much does the Working at Heights Course cost?

The Working at Heights Course is €32.00 per person, and that is the full price. Team bookings get a volume discount applied automatically, with one invoice and one account for all your records.

Can I do the Working at Heights Course online, on my phone?

Yes, the whole course is online and works on any phone, tablet or laptop. There is no classroom day and no fixed start time: register, log in and begin the Working at Heights Course whenever it suits you, at home or on a break at work. Progress saves automatically as you go.

How long does the Working at Heights Course take to complete?

About 45 minutes, and you do not have to do it in one sitting. Progress saves as you go, so you can stop after a lesson and pick it back up on another device. Your certificate is ready to download the moment you pass.

What certificate do I get, and when do I receive it?

You download your Working at Heights Course certificate as a PDF the moment you pass the exam, day or night. It shows your name, the course, the date and a verification link, so an employer or inspector can confirm it in seconds. A copy stays in your account whenever you need to print it again.

How long is the certificate valid in Ireland?

Renewal is recommended every three years, or sooner if your role, equipment or site changes. We track the date for you and send a reminder before it lapses, so no certificate in your team expires without anyone noticing. The refresher is the same short online course, so staying compliant never costs a working day.

What happens if I fail the exam?

Nothing bad. You can retake the exam as many times as you need at no extra cost, and you can revisit any lesson before trying again. Most learners pass first time, because the questions test exactly what the course just taught.

Is the practical assessment included?

This course is assessed by examination rather than by a practical, because the competence it builds is judgement rather than technique. You get unlimited attempts at the exam, at no extra cost.

Can I book this course for my whole team?

Yes, and the platform is built for it. One company account covers every employee, shows you at a glance who has finished and who has not, stores every certificate in one place and gives you a single invoice for the lot. Group bookings get the volume discount applied automatically in your cart.

Will employers and inspectors accept the certificate?

They do. We are an official accredited provider and the certificate carries a verification link an inspector can check in seconds. It is accepted by employers in Ireland, the UK and across the EU, and behind it stand our accreditations: HSA Compliant, QQI Assessed, CPD and RoSPA Accredited.
