Abseiling Guide (AG) Assessment

*Formerly known as BAI*

This assessment is run over two half-day sessions. The venue for assessment is usually Freycinet, but other locations may be used after negotiation with our assessors. Candidates are required to run two abseiling sessions of approximately 4 hours. At each session they will be required to rig one abseil setup. Candidates will then use this set up to run an abseiling session with 3-6 clients. Basic rescues, such as a 2:1 raise and entrapment release, will be assessed.

Candidates are expected to:

  • Keep themselves and their clients safe at all times
  • Demonstrate a well engrained safety check and briefing procedures
  • Offer a quality experience to their clients
  • Be proficient at responding to any emergency situation that may arise
